libpty.so is JNI code to get a pseudo pty so we can redirect the output
of the debugging program to the (eclipse)console.
It is probably not vital at this point. For example for windows,
we do do this, the debugging application is spawned with a DOS console.
If someone knows how to create pseudo ttys on Windows, .. I'd like to know.
Eclipse does not know about JAVA_HOME, you need to set it this
to find the jni includes, makefiles build.

Yes, it is a fragment, when debugging you can attach, the fragment
is invoked to find a list of process to attach. Look for IProcessList
instead of ProcessList.
