Subject: patch to gdbserver for names instead of pid numbers

Attached is a patch to gdbserver to allow the remote server to attach to a process by executable name rather than by pid number. It chooses the 'first' process name that matches, assuming it to be the group leader of a multi-threaded application. I found this to be extremely helpful in repeated use of gdbserver.
