Sorry, but no, I'd rather see the probem fixed :-/  You're just, 
unfortunatly, the one to draw the short straw.

The target vector has a very sordid history in this regard.  Too often 
have people allowed things to slip through that should have, instead, 
been included in the target vector.

For the TUI, I was thinking more of a 5.2 timeframe.  Regarding the 
target vector, I might cook something (gdbarch.sh like) up - but what 
ever it is it wouldn't go in until 5.1 is branched.
