We have a lot of people that are confused about the target-stream-output
and it was recently brought up that maybe this wasn't used and should be
removed.
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2005-11/msg00391.html
However, you seem to be using it, and want to add another stream-output,
probably called something like target-stream-stderr-output.
I haven't seen MI use the target-stream-output yet. What is your
configuration that makes this happen? Is it still useful to you?
If so, it would be nice if we could improve the doco a bit, to let users
know when this would be useful for them.
Thanks,
