* TODO: Don't suggest doing fast watchpoints by stepping a line
at a time. That would be really hairy and still not fast enough. Do suggest debug registers and page table diddling.

+Speed up watchpoints by using debug registers, page table diddling (on

Update gdbint.texinfo to include doc on the directory structure and
the various tricks of building gdb.
