Did anyone take the time to look at dexter and whether it would fit the bill 
here? It would be great to avoid reimplementing its functionality just to have 
something that then only works on Windows.

My position is that for the kind of very basic end-to-end testing that we do in 
this repository (set breakpoints+print variables), it should be possible to 
have one wrapper that supports multiple debuggers. I'm also fine with adding 
platform-specific tests into a subdirectory, but that should be the exception, 
not the rule. What I would like to avoid is growing a large parallel body of 
basic tests that only work on one platform.

It sounded like dexter would be the missing glue layer that supports windows 
debuggers and unix debuggers alike. If that is feasible I would prefer to 
extend dexter to support WinDbg and migrating debuginfo-tests to use dexter 
over adding new code and more complexity to debuginfo-tests.
