I tend to agree with Jim. Here's another data point: the x86 support
for hardware watchpoints. It was initially added to go32-nat.c for
the DJGPP port, and only later generalized to cover any i386 target.
(Of course, the initial code was committed without asking anyone,
since the DJGPP target was my responsibility ;-) When the general x86
code was approved and committed, the DJGPP-specific code was deleted.
