OK, I have a gdb/mi parser, and a small main program which is capable of 
reading a file line by line and passing the info to the parser. This
functionality seems to work fine. Now that I'm done working on this,
I'll continue to work on the parser more, and thus test it more.

That's true, however, it will be slightly annoying to me because I'll
have to modify the autotools somehow to use the proper skeleton
depending on the version of bison that I'm using.
