[SDL] SDL and Win32 processes

[Matthias Weigand]

Hi Roger,

i'm not sure if i got you right, so i will explain how i made some kind 
of debug console. In my case i wanted to have two separate processes, so 
that the debug console is not affected if my program crashes. I send the 
current stack trace via TCP socket to my debug console. This way you are 
also able to send commands or other data to your app.

I found this extremely useful to debug segmentation faults or other 
crashes in environments where the debugger is unavailable.

Hope it helps!
  Matthias
