Looks good. Can you send it as a formal proposal (as a protocol change) to gdb@, then give it a week?

-@item @code{v} --- reserved
+@item @code{v} --- verbose packet prefix
-Reserved for future use.
+Packets starting with @code{v} are identified by a multi-letter name,
+up to the first @code{;} or @code{?} (or the end of the packet).

+@item @code{vCont}[;@var{action}[@code{:}@var{tid}]]... --- extended resume
+@cindex @code{vCont} packet
+
+Resume the inferior.  Different actions may be specified for each thread.
+If an action is specified with no @var{tid}, then it is applied to any
+threads that don't have a specific action specified; if no default action is
+specified than other threads should remain stopped.  Multiple default
+actions are an error.  Thread IDs are specified in hexadecimal.
+Currently supported actions are:

Should it specify that no action is also an error?

+@item c

+@item C@var{sig}
+Continue with signal @var{sig}
+@item s

+@item S@var{sig}
+Step with signal @var{sig}

+The optional @var{addr} argument normally associated with these packets is
+not supported in @code{vCont}.

+Query support for the @code{vCont} packet.

+Reply:
+@table @samp
+@item @code{vCont}[;@var{action}]...
+The @code{vCont} packet is supported.  Each @var{action} is a supported
+command in the @code{vCont} packet.

Hmm, yes good catch remembering to include ";".


+@item empty

The convention:


@item

is currently used for an empty packet.

+The @code{vCont} packet is not supported.
+@end table
