Experimental GDB mode in ELPA

[Nick Roberts]

For anyone interested in reviewing the current status/contributing to a GDB
mode that uses GDB/MI directly, Tom Tromey has kindly installed a package of
mine called gdb-mi in his Emacs Lisp Package Archive (http://tromey.com/elpa/)

It comprises a modified gud.el and a file called gdb-mi.el which replaces
gdb-ui.el.  When installed in your Emacs, this overrides the current files and
invoking M-x gdb will use GDB/MI directly (starts with "gdb -i=mi").  When
deleted ('d' followed by 'x' in Package Menu mode) the files are deleted and
old functionality restored.

For someone who just wants to use GDB, however, the current mode in Emacs 22 is
a much better option.
