Note to avoid potential redundant work: I will be doing major refactorings
in org.epic.debug over this weekend, and will commit my changes on Sunday.

I am not committing the new code just yet because I did not manage to test
it sufficiently.

Originally, I planned to clean up PerlDB.java, but the amount of wacky dependencies
in the code just would not let me cease there. So far, Eclipse tells me
I have modified 40+ files from org.epic.debug.

The commit will probably have to wait until next weekend.

ok - i've been looking into the dltk and  started to put together a small
prototype. 

already i have a wizard to create a project and support modification of
a jdt like build path (the interface is exactly the same). launching seems
to be straight forward as well - the only "tricky" part is the editor.

they are using antlr, but it seems that the grammar is defined more 'programatically'
- i'm still a newbie when it comes to that whole area, so now may be as
good a time as any to learn it - since it will be beneficial regardless.

The refactored debugger code is now committed. Still rough at many places,
yet a lot more readable than it used to be. I bet there are still old bugs
and perhaps a few new ones in there. The hope is that they can now be fixed
without swearing.

If you wish to experiment with remote debugging, a good place to start would
be RemoteLaunchConfigurationDelegate, which now actually works on simple
examples.
