I've never really used it but ISTR that Solaris dbx had this feature and there
all you needed to do when excution was stopped, was edit and compile a file,
myfile.c to myfile.o say, then do "fix myfile.o" followed by "continue" and
execution would continue with the new myfile.o patched into the executable.
This all worked from the command line.
