This is a complete rewrite of the Korn Shell debugger from Bill
Rosenblatt's `Learning the Korn Shell', published by O'Reilly and
Associates (ISBN 1-56592-054-6). Michael Loukides, Gary Vaughan, and
Cigy Cyriac made some additional changes.

The command syntax generally follows that of the GNU debugger gdb.

However this code now depends on a number of debugging support
features that are neither part of the POSIX 1003.1 standard and are
not in older POSIX-like shells. I added support for debugging in bash
2.05b, which has been encorporated with changes into bash 3.0 with
some change. Note though that you can't use the bashdb code from 2.05b
in bash 3.0 since not all of the changes are upward
compatible. Instead you need the code from the correct 3.x bashdb
distribution.

See INSTALL for generic GNU configure installation instructions.
