Now that gdb 5.1 is about to be released, I am reminded that Objective-C is 
supported only by patching the source code and rebuilding gdb.  Every major 
release of gdb not only breaks the previous patches, but makes the 
integration of Objective-C support even harder.  It'd be really nice to 
have Objective-C support integrated in the released version!
