I was kind of looking for an executive summary :-)  I've attached a 
trimmed diff.

Two things:

- it should't be using --interpreter console ...
Can you and/or: add a new -mi-tty command (+test, +doco) and use that; 
invoke GDB with the --tty=... option.  Your call.  Either pre-approved 
(but get thumbs up from Eli on the doco).

- can the TTY output be identified in someway?
That might make debugging easier, but if it isn't possible I guess we 
live with that.

With that, ok.
Andrew

PS: Yes, we need to find a place for explaining how to invoke this. 
Looking at the TUI chapter opening there is:
- paragraph stating what TUI is
- paragraph stating how to invoke TUI
MI's chapter should probably do the same.
