Thanks. Below is what I ended up comitting.

A test-case is coming up. I will also have a look at the documentation.

2003-05-08  J. Brobecker  <brobecker@gnat.com>

        * defs.h (language): Add language_minimal enum value.
        * c-lang.c (minimal_language_defn): New language definition.
        (_initialize_c_language): Add the new minimal language to the list
        of languages known to GDB.
