Where is GDB going

Just FYI,

I'm currently aware of three significant and ongoing architectural
developments in GDB (I use the word `ongoing' loosely as like any work
it suffer from fits and starts):

	o	mi/libgdb/cli

		An interface for building better
		and more robust GUIs.  If is signficant
		as it involves separating the CLI
		from the core of GDB.

	o	multi-arch

		Allowing GDB to debug more complex
		targets containing several architectures

	o	async/event-loop

		Eliminating the assumption that
		the world stops when the target

Beyond that I also know of some more localized development (C++
cleanup/revamp, harvard/segment architecture discussion, ...).
