That was my thinking too, but it ended up taking as much time to get
the code working with GDB as it would have taken to start from
scratch - rdi-share has piles of pointless generality.  The protocol
isn't completely implemented either, and the part that does get
used isn't that complicated.  Look at remote-rdp.c, it's actually
quite similar (which shouldn't be a surprise, because it's what talks
to ARM's previous generation of boards).
