Yes, thanks!
Can I suggest adding an entry to the NEWS file that includes links back
to the key postings that included the scripts. Hmm, perhaphs the links
should point back to something in:
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/gdb/infrastructure/
Perhaphs give people a few days to chew on what has just happened before

only 10 years late! :-)
