Summary: Improve the generic interface to debuggers

Initial Comment:
From:    "R. Bernstein" <address@hidden>

The whole internal organization could be improved. It
was easy to
add bash debugging, an example of adding a new
debugger. But I was
amazed and appalled at how many files and places inside
the file I
had to change. What simplified things for me was that I
basically
made the bashdb interface copy gdb. And over time for
better ddd
support I've just had to make bashdb more like gdb even
though I
think some of its interfaces and messages a little odd
and even
inappropriate for a shell debugger. Another idea is to
have some 
sort of well defined internal interface.

This would involve major changes. Just writing a
document describing
what has to change or simplifying that I think is
major. Don't 
expect you or anyone else to do, but it should be said
for those
who might want to add yet another debugger.
