The suggestion of gdb_byte was yours, so it rightfully falls to you to 
propose more formally on gdb@ (I certaintly don't want to jump in and 
steal your thunder).  Can we finally do that?

BTW, just like with value.[hc], I've been careful to only make the 
straight forward change for buffers of s/{unsigned,}char/bfd_byte/, and 
have tried to avoid more contraversial replacements such as 
s/void*/bfd_byte*/.  We're hardly going to revert the existing bfd_byte 
changes.
