At first I wanted to say I was blind not seeing it, but then I realized that this file is not in the tarball, only in the repository. So I never found it before. May I suggest to make it part of the release tarball? Also, as none of the commands defined on gdbinit are documented in an= y shape or form, could you perhaps say a few words about the purpose an= d the intended usage of each one of them? E.g., when to use 'pp' and when to use 'gdisplay' or 'gwrite' or 'sputs'? And what are 'pslot' and 'gslot' good for?
