Eli, I'm sorry if I've done this. You, Daniel Jacobowitz and Michael
Chastain have been *very* helpful to me, as I've been learning and
working with GDB. In fact, Andrew has also been helpful, even if he is 
extremely rude about it.

The reason I blame everyone, and not anyone in particular, is because if
the GDB community really cared about contributions from the outside, the
GDB community would change the process to make it happen, no matter what
the cost. I don't know why it is difficult to get patches into GDB/MI in
a timely fashion. I do know that the path needs to open up to allow
this, otherwise GDB, and the community at a whole will suffer.

Since I am no one in the GDB community, I need people that have the
power to give me a solution to get patches into GDB in a timely fashion.

My hope is that I will find that path.
