I fully agree with this.

The current debugger plugin in Anjuta has roughly the same function than 
Nemiver (I think Nemiver is a bit better) and has no code in common. I 
think the only common code is GDL which can be used by Nemiver.

I'm not convinced that it's less work to use Nemiver code than to 
duplicate it in Anjuta and I see C++ as a disadvantage for this. But I 
can be wrong. Moreover I think it's much more interesting to try to use 
Nemiver code than rewriting it in C. So, I would prefer to try the 
first, cleaner, solution.
