Hmm, i've once looked into it, but gdb4's structure is totally
changed. The hooks for a dyadic frame specification have already been
in gdb3, so this has been an easy job to do. I've just committed it
since i found this useful (and i had to analyze some core dumps in the
last couple of days).
Can someone with more insight into gdb4 speak up?
