All,

I'd like to remove the BugSpot front end from SA in an effort to clean up the 
SA code and reduce the number of implementations. My understanding is that 
BugSpot was intended as a more general native debugger not only focused on the 
JVM, but that it was never fully implemented. I don't think there is a need for 
a general-purpose debugger in SA.

The features that will change are:
* BugSpot graphical UI will be removed
* PStack and PMap will no longer be able to operate on executables other than 
the JVM
* Some code only referenced from BugSpot will be removed

Does anyone know of a reason this is not a good idea? I don't have the full 
history of SA nor all the use cases so I would appreciate feedback.

Thanks,
/Staffan
