[PATCH] [gdb/tui] Expand WDB reference

[PATCH] [gdb/tui] Expand WDB reference

[Tom de Vries]

In gdb/tui/tui.c I came across:
...
/* General functions for the WDB TUI.
...

Initially I thought this was a WDB->GDB typo, but after searching a bit I
found out that this is a reference to HP Wildebeest, a port of GDB to HP-UX.

Change the comment line to use "General functions for the GDB TUI", and
instead mention it here in a more descriptive form:
...
-   Contributed by Hewlett-Packard Company.
+   Contributed by Hewlett-Packard Company.  Developed as part of HP Wildebeest
+   (WDB), a port of GDB to HP-UX.
...

While we're at it, remove a pointless "This is a sample program for the HP WDB
debugger" note in gdb.base/average.c.

I wonder if this ought to have a GPL header.

Yeah.  I've filed a PR ( 
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34106 ) about adding 
this automatically using a pre-commit hook.

Thanks,
