I'm not sure if thats true, I was just talking about timing. Its probably
not reasonable or even realistic to insist that CLI output never changes.

Well, GDB and Emacs are both part of the GNU Project. I don't know how much
this counts for, but at the moment GDB issues a new release about twice a year
whereas the last release of Emacs from CVS HEAD was in September 2001. I am
saying that these very different timetables are difficult to work with. As
maintainer of CGDB, you (Bob) are presumably free to make a new release
whenever you wish.
