Great, thanks!

Sure thing.  I think memcheck is The King in what it does.  And
especially know that it has enhanced integration with GDB on certain
occasions, it might be nice to integrate memcheck with some nemiver-fu
so that the memcheck perspective can poke at the debugging perspective
when needed.

But I am digressing; that's thought for another occasion.

So much goodness to come ...

Cheerio.
