Kevin,

A quick glance suggests a review is needed. For instance, from a
coding (not thread -> MichaelS) viewpoint ``#define DEBUG 0'' should be
handled at run-time and should be written to ``gdb_stdlog''. If
anything, perhaphs like for ada, this file could be initially commited,
but not actually included/enabled. That should at least make the review
process easier.
