I've been taking a look at this. Am I right in thinking that even if use
the new_objfile event, I would still do one of these:

1) Manually write the python lines like in my example
2) Add the python lines to .gdbinit
3) Write in a python file and then source it in gdb

Is there anyway to auto-register this without having to do any manual
work?
