I think you've found it :-)

As you probably know, PDB is an undocumented format.
I suspect the best you can find are scattered posts like
http://moyix.blogspot.com/2007/08/pdb-stream-decomposition.html
http://www.godevtool.com/Other/pdb.htm
from people who reverse engineer bits of it.

Although
http://moyix.blogspot.com/2007/08/pdb-stream-decomposition.html
claims http://ccimetadata.codeplex.com/ has some interesting
bits from the horse's mouth, and
http://code.google.com/p/pdbparse/
http://code.google.com/p/pdbparser/
http://pdbparser.codeplex.com
might be interesting.
