Re: How about remote MI?

GDBRUI(http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdbrui/) is not like TUI. I
think It like MI. MI support a PIPE interface. GDBRUI support a TCP/IP
interface to other program. So the program that is in another machine
can control GDB via TCP/IP.
So I think maybe I can do some work to make MI support TCP/IP
interface. How do you think about it?
