Hi Rocky,

Welcome back!  And thanks for your nice comments about the code...

Feel free to go wild with adding another debugger, but please make
a branch in CVS first.  Then once the dust has settled, we can merge
from the branch into the mainline.  This isn't as much work as you
might imagine -- changes to mainline are few and far between.

For updates and patches to bashdb, go right ahead and commit them to
mainline.

Andrew
