I think that you're probably more familiar with some of this code than I am
now.  I've don't have much time for emacs development at the moment and I
don't want to become a bottleneck.  So I'm happy for you to commit these
changes if it's OK with Cyd and Stefan.  Ken Brown's patches look good too.
One, at least, is a regression from gdb-ui.el which probably still has fewer
issues than gdb-mi.el
