Until very recently, the .PDB format was completely undocumented and
Microsoft-proprietary (and your request would have been unimplementable).

A few months ago, Microsoft published the details:
https://github.com/Microsoft/microsoft-pdb

You are welcome to contribute support, but don't count on anybody else doing
that.

Also note that LLD doesn't currently support PDB files either:
http://lld.llvm.org/windows_support.html but that support is being worked on.
