Possibly part of the MSVC debugger is redistributable? I was trying to get a backtrace handler into LyX, but it is hard enough trying to get something that works cleanly across multiple versions of Ubuntu let alone Windows and Linux. Apparently there is a qcrashhandler [1] proposed for inclusion in Qt. Perhaps I could get this feature in 2.1.x, using qcrashhandler as the backend. -- John C. McCabe-Dansted
