Thanks.

The documentation part is okay, except that I'd add a @cindex entry
there about sourcing Python code files.
However, I don't think I like the idea of GDB barfing if Python
support is not compiled in. I think it should simply try to interpret
the file as GDB scripting commands.
I also think we need a NEWS entry for this feature.
