[RFC 0/8] Create MI commands using python

[Jan Vrany <jan.vrany@fit.cvut.cz>]

This patch series adds a possibility to create new MI commands using python.

The code is based on a few year old attempt of Didier Nadeau who did the
heavy lifting. I merely updated his original code to work with today's GDB,
add tests and polished it a little.

At this point, there's no documentation. I expect a discussion and changes
in behavior and/or output - I'll write it once the rest is agreed on.

Didier Nadeau (3):
  Use std::map for MI commands in mi-cmds.c
  Use classes to represent MI Command instead of structures
  Create MI commands using python.

Jan Vrany (5):
  mi/python: C++ify python MI command handling code
  mi/python: Polish MI output of python commands
  mi/python: Handle python exception when executiong python-defined MI
    commands
  mi/python: Add tests for python-defined MI commands
  mi/python: Allow redefinition of python MI commands
