At least in my opinion abandoning that code is the right approach. There is
a well maintained google library called breakpad that is used in chromium
and firefox that we should reuse. For the server side code we could take
some of the code from the mozilla project. In general that would avoid that
we alone would need to maintina that code and we would have easily
something that works on Linux and Windows and is well tested.
