Here is a new version of the patch. Does this look better?
Not being around when libgdb was being discussed, I hope that
the note that I wrote about it is accurate. Please let me know
if not.

        * documentation/index.html: Remove link to the libgdb documentation.
        * papers/index.hmtl: Show the second libgdb paper as deprecated.
        * papers/libgdb2/index.html: Add a note saying that this project
        has been abandoned.

Thanks,
-- 
Joel

+Note that this project has been abandoned many years ago (as of
+2009-03-30) in favor of other solutions.  For instance, interfacing
+with the debugger has been simplified through the introduction of
+GDB/MI.  More recently, Python support is being actively added to
+extend the range of features accessible through GDB (see
+<A HREF="http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/PythonGdb">PythonGdb</A>
+for more info).
