Sorry if I sounded impolite. I did not at all mean to insult them. On 
the contrary I praise them for their exceptional work !

I only wanted to state that it does not make much sense to try to have 
specific additional features included in gdb to improve it's usability 
with FPC.

If we could really hope for this, I would vote for a gdb extension 
instead of creating a completely new debugger from scratch .
