There is no user document that I know of that describes how to write an
FE on top of GDB using the MI interface besides the manual.
AFAIK, FE's use fork/exec with GDB and communicate with it over a pipe
like you suggested. Beware, some of the MI commands that the manual says
are there are unimplemented.
If you want to see some interaction between GDB and another process look
at the gdb.mi testsuite.
