[PATCH] "Upgrade" to autoconf 2.59

[Keith Seitz]

Hi,

I've committed changes to src/gdb/gdbtk and src/libgui to use autoconf
2.59. No patches required, just shuffle bits about.

Not with gdb -- unless you have a program which will send an interrupt
to your gdb process after a timeout.

However, this _can_ be done with insight. Basically what you want to do
is have something execute the tcl command "after TIMEOUT gdb_stop"
(TIMEOUT in milliseconds). You can do this multiple ways:

o add it to insight's target selection dialog (in the "execute after
attaching" bit -- you'll need to pass the above tcl command to gdb using
the "tk" command, i.e., "tk after TIMEOUT gdb_stop")

o add it to your gdb startup script which does all the target setup and
the like

o write a plug-in to add a menu option or toolbar button
