Re: [rfc] XML files for PowerPC tdescs


Hi Daniel,

Indeed, looks much more organized. :-)

In rs6000.xml and powerpc-601.xml, you redefine the
org.gnu.gdb.power.core and/or org.gnu.gdb.power.fpu features, instead of
including power-core.xml and/or power-fpu.xml. I see that there are a
few registers that are different in these "private definitions". Would
it be worthwhile adding comments describing why they can't include
power-{core,fpu}.xml?

Also, these are more to satisfy my curiosity than anything else:
The XML files are not under the GPL. What is the reason for this? And
why use DTDs instead of XML Schemas?
