It will just work.  The conversation goes like this:

-> qSupported:			  # Whatcha got?
<- PacketSize=4000;QPassSignals+  # I got big buffers.  And stuff.
-> QPassSignals:e;10;14		  # Don't care about all these.
<- OK				  # OK, I don't care.
-> vCont:c			  # RUN!

The "set remote" command is only for overrides.  Honestly, I've been
thinking of removing the override commands, or moving them into maint
somewhere; they're half the trouble in adding and documenting a new
command, and we're just adding them for consistency at this point.
I don't think they're really useful except for testing.
