Great! Like Michael Snyder said, this is a very interesting feature, and
will be a significant addition to GDB.

The Free Software Foundation chooses to retain copyright to all the code
in its projects, to ease license control and enforcing. Because of this,
contributors to an FSF project need to sign a document assigning the
copyright of their code which gets incorporated into a project. You can
find some information about it here:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.html

There are people in this list who can send you the paperwork and explain
the procedure in detail. I'm not one of them...

That's not a problem. Feel free to post questions and intermediate
patches to the list.
