And on the other side, I have repeatedly been burnt by systems with

My point is that you don't have to check them out if you don't want
to.  If it's just there for those who need it, it can't possibly
hurt.



It is surprisingly difficult to check out gdb without getting tcl/tk
as well.  This is probably nothing to do with Ben, though.

While it's nothing to do with Ben, it's also nothing to do with GDB. `cvs -d ... co gdb` doesn't checkout expect/tcl/tk, for that you need to explicitly specify gdb+dejagnu.

(Part of the fallout from this change will be dropping the +dejagnu from GDB).
