This looks good. I won't want to merge it in yet until it supported compressed PDBs as that seems to be the primary format at least from MSDL symbol store (unless something has changed). I've done something like this before, and historically I had case sensitivity issues. I can't remember if it was on the download side, the storage side, or the symbol matching side. But something to be aware of. Looks goo otherwise. |

👍 - It doesn't appear that Microsoft offers compressed PDBs (oddly enough). Do you have a good test case for compressed PDBs? |

This PR addresses #3.
Note that we still don't handle more advanced forms of
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH- only the most basic.This set of changes also does not handle compressed symbols, or alternate symbol server layouts (indicated by the presence of index2.txt).
This does however break the dependency on symchk.exe, allowing this tool to be used on Linux machines the same as Windows.
In addition, a design of using a thread pool is certainly more efficient than spawning multiple copies of symchk.exe.
More to potentially come as features are needed.
