Some not working stuff be using ddd on WindRivers GDP

[VP RBG-SVIISRDSW-08843]

Hi,
if I'm using vxwork's (Tornado 2.2) GDB implementation most of the actions 
taking pathnames from the GDB doesn't work on cygwin-pc! (Win-NT)

I found one of the reasons but there still more not working code on the DDD 
around  vxGDB. 
See comments prefixed by //SIE: for more information about one of the mistakes 
I found.

Regards 
j. Sievers
