Allowing that gdb is implemented over a wide variety of CPUs and OSes, I 
wonder whether it would make more sense to "adopt" libgdb than writing 
something from scratch?

I've managed to compile this and incorporate it into the fp IDE for a 
number of Linux platforms, with the exception of ARM which was 
problematic. I can't remember the extent to which I've tried for Windows 
and Solaris.
