I meant that the target configuration script added a tcl command
that would be available to the .gdbinit sequence(or from Telnet for
that matter).

I would like OpenOCD support for Altera Nios because ByteBlaster

Another thing I'd like to see is the FPGA configure tool built more
naturally into the development cycle.

Agreed, I just explained badly in my last email and I'm not advocating
making GDB support required in any way.
