Please note that the last release of GCC-XML was done in 2002, well before
7.1 was released:

http://www.gccxml.org/HTML/News.html

Since then we've had no funding to do more work or releases.  That which
has been done has been occasional tweaks requiring a few minutes apiece.
If you'd like to arrange a contract with Kitware for a release to be done
and better documentation to be written, please contact
kitware at kitware.com.  Otherwise you'll have to wait until we have time to
do it.

The instructions at

http://www.gccxml.org/HTML/Install.html

have two parts.  One covers "gccxml_cc1plus", the other covers "gccxml".
The "Windows" part of the "gccxml_cc1plus" instructions tells you to build
it under cygwin.  The "Windows" part of the "gccxml" instructions tells
you to copy gccxml_cc1plus to the top of your build tree.

What you need to do is build gccxml_cc1plus.exe under cygwin and copy it
to C:\Projects\K2\Projects\GCC_XML.  Then running gccxml.exe from the
build tree should work fine.
