I'm not too knowledgable about binary compatibility in Java, so
could you clarify one thing. Suppose we add new method to
GDBControl_7_0 to decide whether to use -exec-run or -exec-continue,
and it has the logic that is used now. Why will that break derived
classes? I think that if the method is protected, then it's interface
*only* for derived classes.
