/* vgdb has two usages:
   1. relay application between gdb and the gdbserver embedded in valgrind.
   2. standalone to send monitor commands to a running valgrind-ified process

   It is made of a main program which reads arguments.  If no
   arguments are given or only --pid and --vgdb-prefix, then usage 1 is
   assumed.
   
   As relay application, vgdb reads bytes from gdb on stdin and
   writes these bytes to valgrind.  Bytes read from valgrind are
   written to gdb on stdout.  Read/Write from/to valgrind is done
   using FIFOs.  There is one thread reading from stdin, writing to
   valgrind on a FIFO.  There is one thread reading from valgrind on a
   FIFO, writing to gdb on stdout

   As a standalone utility, vgdb builds command packets to write to valgrind,
   sends it and reads the reply. The same two threads are used to write/read.
   Once all the commands are sent and their replies received, vgdb will exit.

         previous activity of the process is resumed (e.g. restart a
