Seems reasonable enough to me, but for the time being, I'll keep to porting.
However, one thing that may be of interest for cgdb is the container 
library I wrote for Jail-ust (also on SourceForge) which I think will 
respond to the needs for a hashing implementation discussed here earlier.
If you check it out like this:
$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:an...@cv...:/cvsroot/jail-ust
$ cvs login
anoncvs
$ cvs co release-libcontain
you'll get the current version with all of its dependencies (libreplace 
and the architecture-dependent code)

The included hash implementation comes from the libhash library I wrote 
for other applications, all my own work (so there are no licensing 
worries). Everything is available under GPL (unless I say otherwise in 
writing, in which case the BSD license applies). Th hash implementation 
is the part of the library that has been tested most, the rest is 
alpha-quality (the hash has already been used in production software)

Just thought this could interest you :)

As I am the author of the library, I will of course be happy to support 
it for CGDB.
