I really ment with DDD.

I have set this to gdb and it works, however I wanted
to use DDD so I set KAFFE_DEBUG to ddd.  The script
handles it differently.  I am wondering if there is
some magic going on there.

I think the kaffe script is wrong.  The modifications
I made allow be to set KAFFE_DEBUG to ddd and just
compile, it pops-up DDD with kaffe running, just like
it does for gdb.

I guess part of my question is:  Does debugging with
DDD work the same was as with gdb? (setting up the
environment,...)

Cool, I didn't know I could do that.
