They are... but it also depends on the MS debugging format used. Ulrich 
Weigand wrote some support for some formats (NB09, NB10 and N11), but 
latest formats are not supported.

I started some time ago porting the winedbg stuff inside dbghelp (I have 
a skeletton from this later DLL). If someone is interested to spend some 
time on this, I can provide what I have.
