This is not Zylin specific. This is useful for embedded hosts to
check how much memory is lefte(e.g. uClinux or eCos).

This can be used in regression testing scripts to check for memory
leaks.

It probably has little value on PC (Linux/Windows/Mac) hosts where the total
system memory available poorly corelated to what OpenOCD is using.
There are much more effective tools on PCs (valgrind, sp?) to track this
sort of problems.
