Now Falk, I could've guessed you'd be a trouble maker :-))

As you say, sounds like this needs to be added to the debugger options - empty
by default. This will override the program binary found using Ralf F's
suggestion.

Ralf, are you wanting to have a go at doing this? How's your schedule these
days?

See slotStart(...), but note that it's called directly, several times, in
ckdevelop.cpp not via an emit :-)
