1. Does it ships with it's own GDB?
Yes, insight "is" gdb: running "insight -nw" will give you the CLI gdb.
When you build insight, you get two executables: one is gdb, one is
insight.
2. Can it communicate with an "external" gdb server through a socket?
Yes, insight can do anything that gdb does.
3. Does it uses the systems' tk library?
On linux*, yes, it will use the system's tcl/tk/itcl. Simply remove the
tcl, tk, and itcl directories from the source tree.
* I say linux because that is the only platform on which I've tested it.
You cannot do this with either MinGW or Cygwin. Those platforms must use
the in-tree tcl, tk, and itcl. [And the only reason they "must" use them
is because no one has done the work to make the build do this.]
