Hopefully the ``FIXME <date>'' and the delete after <version> will stop
that :-)
Other #if0'd code I've come across didn't do that and no one knows when
it was done.
My main reason for leaving it around was becasue I know HP and Apple had
stuff that they would like to incorporate into gdb and may use that
function.

PS: I've this script that counts the number of ``FIXME: cagney''s and a
few other things. I've a big incentive to fix it :-)
