The saga continues...

As discussed in last week's status, it appears that the original froggy
dual-threaded, unified control/response, architecture turned out to be a
lousy fit for gdb.  Since I really don't want to clutter up froggy with
whatever it takes to wedge the froggy general idea--utrace stuff in a
kernel module accessed by a user-space lib via pseudo-file I/O--into a
legacy app, Plan B is to morph that general idea into distinct
ptrace-like, waitpid-like, etc., capabilities in a froggy-derived but
new lib/module set.  That's in-process now.
