Hi dukju,

First of all, thanks for the offer, it's much appreciated. 
To answer your question, I haven't done any practical porting of debugger as yet.

I was thinking that a change in architecture is required, and it's probably better
to do that change when porting to KDevelop4, so avoid fixing possible bugs in 
a code that will be much simpler with the right architecture. Unfortunate, said
architecture is not finished yet.

I suppose we can discuss said architecture together.
I also think a help when porting to the new architecture will be very valuable.
Doing 1<->1 port of the current architecture to KDevelop4 will also be
helpful, but in this case I'm afraid a lot will have to be reworked.

What do you think?
