It should be kept simple. A GDB install should only read `.gdbinit'
(the vx hacks, I think, should just go). A user is then free to
customize their .gdbinit to do things like read .gdbinit-$target, or
even conditionally interpret sections of the init file.
If GDB's scripting language isn't powerful enough to handle this then
the scripting language needs to be fixed.
