yes i already have cedet installed and working, but i would rather not
write makefiles by hand. i understand there is also autoconf that can
be used to generate makefiles, possible that's a better way to go,
still i don't feel like investing the time to learn about autoconf at
this point and time

yes i discovered this gdb setting on the emacs-fu blog, however i have
2 questions

1) when i have EBC opened gdb-many-windows end up looking like a mess,
is there a way to get it to work with EBC?

2) i can't figure out how to set breakpoint, can't i simple click
someone in the source window to add a bp?
