I am building something (I call it labslave) like gdbserver, only for
embedded environment. So, one can run this labslave on NT talking to
Macraigor DLL one side, while communicating with remote GDB over standard
remote protocol on anther side.. Current version is 0.1 and the only
target supported is 'remote' (and I am looking for pre-beta testers).
