You probably want to take a look at the specs, see

  cdt-core-home/docs/qnx/cpathentry.html

In term of milestone, we can not match the Eclipse milestones, since
we are in perpetual "catch up" mode.  For example the debugger is in chaos,
because every eclipse milestone the UI/Core changes.

For CDT_VARIABLE, it can not be quite the same as the JDT.  For example,
the JDT VARIABLE only works LIBRARY types and it is not what you expect:
  $HOME/$USER/bin/libm.a

It would be nice, to look at the new stuff included in Eclipse-3.0,

	org.eclipse.core.variables

that deals with variable substitution.  The CDT could provide its VariableManager
to deal with some substitution:
  $HOME/$USER/bin/libm.a

that could be a good addition for CDT-2.0.
