Hi,

I got and test the multiprocess branch. And can't find a interface to
switch the process.
So I make this example patch make multiprocess be switched in
linux-nat. It still have a lot of bugs.

I will make it better if you guys like it.

Example:
(gdb) list
During symbol reading, DW_AT_name missing from DW_TAG_base_type.
5	#include <unistd.h>
6	#include <errno.h>
7	#include <sys/stat.h>
8	#include <fcntl.h>
9	#include <stdint.h>
10	
11	int
12	main(int argc,char *argv[],char *envp[])
13	{
14		pid_t	pid = fork ();
(gdb)
15	
16		if (pid == 0) {
17			while (1) {
18				printf ("%d: C\n", getpid ());
19				sleep (2);
20			}
21		}
22		else {
23			while (1) {
24				printf ("%d: F\n", getpid ());
(gdb)
25				sleep (2);
26			}
27		}
28	
29		return (0);
30	}
31

Try the "focus" command. If you have inferiors 3 and 4, then "focus 3", 
"focus 4", "focus 3", etc should give you the equivalent switching 
effect. (And if it doesn't, it needs to be fixed. :-) )

Thanks Stan.
I tried "focus" with linux-nat and found process didn't switch. Maybe
I can do something with it.
