[Andrew Cagney <cagney@redhat.com>]

Some status:

Type, value, variable, ... fixes and improvements; this is to stop frysk 
reporting <unknown type>, for instance:
scox: adding frysk.debuginfo.TypeEntry and TestTypeEntry which parse 
recursive types in DIE information
sami: finished support for inline scopes; addressing performance 
problems; working to simplify the DebugInfoEvaluator so it uses that 
(and does proper scope lookups).
teresa: location expressions; in particular support for DW_OP_piece
cagney: overhauled type system in frysk.value; supports the DWARF types 
that C/C++ can define

rick&phil: Work a frysk.value.dead.Exe{Host,Task,Proc}; this is part of 
getting:
(fhpd) load executable
(fhpd) print i
work.

tim: making the stepping-engine and hpd synchronized so that races such 
as typing:
(hpd) run
(hpd) break main
too fast wouldn't work.

mark: importing libunwind, bringing in the ppc stuff and other fixes; 
ready for working on .debug_frame.  This is so that back-traces are far 
more robust.
