That's what I thought too. I don't think it's a big deal because
our setup is probably pretty rare. I'll see about the new rewrite
command. Any suggestion on the name of that new command and its
syntax. Something like this?

(gdb) rewrite-source-path old-pattern new-pattern

Or rewrite-source-dir. It's a bit on the longer side, but can't find
any better name. Help!

Thanks,
