Well as far as I can tell, remote debugging for Windows **does** work, assuming 
you use ds2 on the remote, and that you have a few of our local patches (which 
I'm trying to send upstream currently). Remote Windows debugging is the 
**only** way we debug on Windows for now and the testing we have is just a 
combination of people using our tools internally as well as some end-to-end 
tests we run internally with full debug session setup + breakpoints + execution 
control, etc, with a remote session.

Given that this works for us, I'm gonna have a hard time justifying assigning 
people to bringing up windows remote debugging in lldb without ds2, and that 
leaves me in a state where testing stuff **in** lldb is hard/impossible for now.
