Hello,

Enclosed is a patch that adds calls to QUIT in various places which
makes GDB more responsive to CTRL-C. In particular, reading a symbol
file at start up can now be interrupted (although perhaps still not as
responsive as one might like), as well as various other long running
operations. I know at least two GDB developers have one or another of
these on their TODO lists.

All three of these calls to QUIT have relatively close cleanup handlers:

The new call in dwarf2_build_psymtabs is cleaned up by the handlers in
the same function.
Likewise for the new call in process_type_comp_unit, which is just a
level or two down.

The new call in map_symbol_filenames_psymtab occurs in a location
where I don't believe there could be any inconsistent state.

Comments?

Sterling
