You're right. It didn't work that way at all. You'll see my attempt
at fixing it in this version of the patch.

2006-07-07  Joel Brobecker  <brobecker@adacore.com

        * source.c (substitute_path_from): New static variable.
        (substitute_path_to): Likewise.
        (xrewrite_source_path): New function.
        (find_and_open_source): Add source path rewriting support.
        (show_substitute_path_command): New function.
        (unset_substitute_path_command): New function.
        (set_substitute_path_command): New function.
        (_initialize_source): Add new substitute-path commands.

Patch not re-sent, since identical to previous iteration.
See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2006-07/msg00062.html.

2006-07-09  Joel Brobecker  <brobecker@adacore.com

        * gdb.texinfo (Source Path): Add documentation for new
        substitute-path commands.

Thanks,
