For information only, please note that gdb-ui.el (CVS Emacs) currently uses
CLI output from the following commands:

info source
info breakpoints
where
info threads
info registers
info locals
disassemble
info frame

I plan to put a more basic version that uses GDB/MI into CVS as soon as Emacs
is released, whenever that might be. Andrew, if you are planning to change CLI
output could you please convey this to Richard Stallman, so that there can be
some co-ordination of schedule between GDB and Emacs.
