Why do you want to implement your own crashhandler if you can use what
already exists?

The patch here:
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-07/1172.shtml
and the modifications I made to the crash reporter used in TSVN
especially due to that request should be more than enough.
The code of the crash reporter dll is here:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/svn/tortoisesvn/trunk/src/crashrpt/

Seriously, I'm starting to sense a "not invented here" syndrom...
