I don't have suggestions, but I do have a keen interest in this effort.
I have implemented an RSP stub for our embedded environment.  A key
aspect of our system is broadcasting small snippets of code to an army
of worker nodes.  That code is processed by a very minimal loader and
then executed.  I would LOVE to provide my user community an automatic
means of debugging such downloaded code.
