Someone needs to step forward and do the work.  It's a tremendous amount 
of work, btw.  I'm very, very unhappy with the loss of functionality
that we suffered at the hands of GDB6.  The whole FSF development model
of GDB seems like a complete trainwreck, and I certainly don't blame the
people who last tried to hammer GDB into FreeBSD.
