I know about that. :) I had occasion to study it intimately. I was 
proposing an extension, here are two more concrete ideas:

- Provide an API to reconfigure the debugger; it'll try and connect when 
imported, but a reconfiguration method call will prompt a new connection 
attempt (or at least abort the old one and require an explicit call to 
make a new connection).

   import wingdbstub
   # By the time we are here, wingdbstub already did its connection
   # attempt.
   wingdbstub.configure(...)
   wingdbstub.reconnect()

- Alternatively, provide an *extra* module that'll let you configure the 
connection *before* you import wingdbstub.

   import wingdbconfig
   wingdbconfig.setFoo(..)
   wingdbconfig.setBar(..)
   import wingdbstub

The wingdbconfig module would only need to encapsulate manipulations of 
os.environ, really.
