Thanks for the detailed email. I'm still absorbing the information 
parted here, and will in my usual fashion, come  back with questions 
later as things make better/more sense. I get the impressions that 
watchpoints themselves are straightforward enough, but managing them and 
dealing with the arch specific edge cases is tricky situation.
