Huh? Currently I have have no problem having several GUD sessions. And
if I want to debug the same program more than once simultaneously a
"rename-buffer" or "rename-uniquely" works for me.

You *did* read the part where I wrote:

However, if there seems to be a consensus on this, I'd be happy to
break gud.el into a generic file (gud.el) and several
debugger-specific files (bashdb.el, mdb.el, pydb.el, etc.). Also make
the changes I suggested in my previous email of using "define-key
gud-menu-map" and removing entries from "easy-mmode-defmap
gud-menu-map".

However when it gets to stuff like this:

you are out of my league. I don't really understand what you are
talking about. If you really think this is the way to go, you may be
the best candidate for doing it. ;-)
