         This is, as I was able to understand, some improvement to Sergey's

         Sergey's driver I tested for 4 days and wasn't able to run it 
stable on my PC.

         I think that it was spoken about Linux only. For Windows we have 
good  enough support for Macraigor's wiggler in gdb.
         BTW, as I understood the original request, it was also for  Macraigor.
