The bulk of it is done.
It needs some misc additions, but IMHO, it's ready for integration
(which is why it's not marked as work in progress).
Nobody has reviewed it yet.
See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2002-04/msg00432.html
I have finals until may 10th, and thus no time to work more on it until
ten.
Hopefully someone will look at it before then.
