RFC Namespace for GDB python helper scripts

RFC Namespace for GDB python helper scripts

[Holger Hans Peter Freyther]

Hi All,

since GDB 7.0 it is possible to write some python scripts and hook into core 
functionality of GDB. To date I'm only aware of scripts in glib to make use of 
it but I think we will see many more.

I think it would be nice if we have a common name for these helper scripts as 
this will ease finding them when a user needs to install them.

What do you think about:

	gdb-helper-NAME

as generic name?

So gdb-helper-glib-2.0, gdb-helper-qt4-x11?

Sounds good to me if the packages has a dependency on both gdb and the
NAME itself/
