MI error msgs and localization

["Bjarke Viksoe" <bviksoe at hotmail dot com>]

Hi, I've been using the MI interface for quite some time and noticed that 
preparation for localization has begun in GDB. Can I express some concern 
that compatibility with existing MI systems may suffer from this.

For instance, a cleanup must be done to make sure all errors are still 
reported through MI in English ? including the more exceptional ones 
(especially during startup). For instance, I am actively interpreting raw 
console-stream output for the following strings:

No debugging symbols found
Unable to attach to process
No such process
No symbol table is loaded
No such file
gdb: unrecognized option
An internal GDB error was detected.
Thread x has terminated.
No executable file specified
No executable specified, use?

For yet-unsupported commands in MI I resort to ?-interpreter-exec console 
xxx?, but that leaves a problem where I have to at least handle messages 
such as

---Type <return> ?

?to keep the non-interactive experience a joy.

Please consider support for MI as an important feature in future versions of 
GDB as well. English MI error output should somehow be retained for Machine 
Interpreting (!!) perhaps with the additional inclusion of the localized 
display text.
