These changes were under the frame/backtrace section of the manual, but those
options were in-fact affect on other part of the command response. E.g. the
breakpoint command response.
E.g.: set filename-display absolute will affect the result.
[debug]> break "E:/code/cb/test_code/mortenr2012-01-15/main.cpp:16"
[debug]Breakpoint 2 at 0x4016ef: file

So, please mention or add some texts for this kind of information. Thanks.
