I suppose I could do something like that.  Though I'll have to pull it
down and start playing with that.  Initially, I was just looking for
boilerplate scripts and descriptions so that more thorough testing
can occur, especially by those of us less familiar with ssh type tools.

Damn, GDB with cross targets?  I would figure so.  Any one really familiar
with Deja Gnu?
