.... and that's where a quick-start doc would come in handy: E.g. how to set
those freakin' compiler flags to get the most out of the debugger.

.... or better yet, how to set those freakin' debugging-related flags of the POV
../configure script, so that it automatically sets all compiler flags I need
(though I fear I won't find such information in the compiler docs) ;)

BTW, I think one of the biggest advancements in debugging is the ability to
single-step through code lines - so unless Borland did something different
there than any modern IDE I know of, then if Linux debuggers don't have it I'll
definitely miss it (if I ever let myself talk into Linux debugging in the first
place, that is).
