I'm thinking about how to implement gdb over Ethernet (or UDP or TCP).
I know this has been considered in the past by several different
people, and it's even been implemented in Linux (which makes the gdb(1)
end simpler).

My idea was to create a netgraph node that can act as a gdb stub.
Then poll the network interface(s) from the gdb_getc() loop to read data.

But, before I go much further, has this already been implemented somewhere
and I'm just not finding it?
