RE: [cdt-debug-dev] Remote debugging

Actually, I've got it implemented as a feature right now. That's led to one
or two problems, and it would be easier all around if the basic functionality
was integrated with the other C debugging work.
The initial patch would be pretty slim: add public methods to the ICDISession
and ICDITarget interfaces to support establishing a remote connection with the
debug server, add a method to the CDebugModel for creating a new remote
debug target, and add a few MI command classes.
Right now, I'm passing remote connection parameters as a String[]. That works
for me, but I'm open to other suggestions (an interface to describe target
connection interface, for example.)
The intent is to add the core changes needed to support adding remote debugging
feature(s) at some time in the future.

Phew! I can think of easier places to start :-) If it wasn't for the find command
in Eclipse, I think I'd still be trying to understand how it all fit together.
