This part doesn't make sense to me. I think immediately, "of course those are part of gdb". That's because when we modify gdb, we modify those as well -- we're constantly telling people that a complete patch includes docs and test changes. Anyway, common will definitely be part of gdb, at least from my point of view. gdb won't build without it. Changes in common will require changes in gdb. Plus, it is in a subdirectory of gdb. Somehow I feel you are sure to disagree :-). I am interested to hear the reason why. Tom
