The sources in HEAD are kept relatively up-to-date. If there are API
changes in gdb which deprecate those used in insight, someone checks in
a fix -- when that happens is sorta iffy, but it does happen.

That's actually the one thing that I seem to find the motivation to do,
for some reason. I guess I just really want to dump the current stuff
and start over with something free & clear. 

I just don't see there being any advantage to developing insight when
there is still confusion/bickering/delay about it's real FSF status, and
the code is quickly becoming dated.

Anyone interested in starting a *new* UI for gdb? ;-)
