I'm only considering merging the event notification in in MI.  I realise this
probably involves other files such as infrun.c but hopefully these changes
can be separated from more extensive ones that you may have made.

Presumably I can pick this merge from CVS (I've already checked out the current
source).  Did you tag the merge?  Is it gdb-424?

I have heard that Apple are moving MacOSX over to Intel architecture.  Is it
possible to get a copy of Darwin (or even a preview of MacOSX) for Intel so
that I can put it on a partition on my PC?  That way I can compare the output
of my merged version of FSF GDB with that of Apple GDB.
