Generally speaking, and that's not your fault, it would be nice to
have some documentation about this module in the GDB Users' Manual.
Would you be willing to help us in that department? - nothing fancy,
but something very basic that quickly lists all available option
and what they mean.  This can be treated as a separate patch.

i dont mind writing documentation, but i dont understand texi, so ive avoided the format when possible. i believe all of the gdb documentation is based in that format ?

Eli has been very generous about taking plain-text submissions and tex-ifying them.
