You might be using libtool. In this case, the actual program will be a
shell script which fires the real executable in the '.libs' directory. 
We probably need to add the needed intelligence to the anjuta debugger
so that it checks <exe name> and if that is not an ELF executable (easy
to do using VFS/file command), then checks <dir>/.libs/<exe name>
instead.

It might also be a good idea to allow user to change the executable name
when starting the debugger.

Anybody willing to come up with a patch for this ? Should be simple
enough I guess.

Rgds,
Biswa.
