They all should actually be the same, with the difference being the
keyword. 
It's rather simple to make this work right.
I added parsing of extern blocks.
In doing so, i added a scope stack, which also took care of the namespace
problem (I never had the distributed namespace problem because of this)

I'll be most likely taking over maintenance of c++ support in GDB (once my
assignment goes through). I've recently fixed operator overloading (It'll
be in the CVS, nad hopefully gdb 5.0, depending on how much longer it
takes to process my papers), among other things.
So, if these turn out to be problems in the underlying debugger, let me
know, and i'll fix them.
