Thanks for the information, it would save me some time. Seems like the 
remaining major problem in symbol-db is now just anjuta-launcher. The 
problem where the files can't be found is a MIME Type-related problem 
(content types and MIME types are different in Windows, and most plugins 
assume they are the same). It just need some convertion using 
g_content_type_get_mime_type.
