New files. This manual was ritten by Eric Valette <valette@crf.canon.fr>
and Emmanuel Raguet <raguet@crf.canon.fr>. It was submitted in LaTeX and converted to Texinfo by Joel. At this point, the figures are largely ignored except to put in an example block to show they are missing. The Makefile should be just enough to produce output with no links between chapters.

+@chapter Conclusion
+
+In this document we have presented how we envisage to add remote debugging facilities
+to RTEMS by implementing a remote debugger daemon for GDB. As any debug implemented
+in software, it will have limitation but we are confident that most of them
+can be removed by adding separate software components dedicated to debug activity.
+We must keep in mind that even with this approach, no software will enable the
+debug of code with interrupt entirely masked at processor level and that In
+Circuit Emulator (ICE) or use of BDM extension on the target board are the ultimate
+way to really debug any portion of an RTOS. BDM support in GDB is still weak
+but people are working on it and we may get something better in a near future.
