/* DEBUG_ExternalDebugger
 *
 * This function invokes an external debugger on the current
 * wine process. The form of the command executed is:
 *  <debugger image> <wine image> <attach process id>
 *
 * The debugger command is normally invoked by a newly created xterm.
 *
 * The current calling process is temporarily put to sleep
 * so that the invoked debugger has time to come up and attach.
 *
 * The following environment variables may be used:
 *
 *   Name                Use                                      Default
 *  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *   WINE_DBG_EXTERNAL   debugger command to invoke               ("gdb")
 *   WINE_DBG_LOCATION   fully qualified location of wine image   ("/usr/local/bin/wine")
 *   WINE_DBG_NO_XTERM   if set do not invoke xterm with command  (not set)
 *   WINE_DBG_SLEEPTIME  number of seconds to make process sleep  (120)
 *
 *
 * Usage:
 *
 *   #include "debugtools.h"
 *
 *   DEBUG_ExternalDebugger();
 *
 *
 * Environment Example:
 *
 *   export WINE_DBG_EXTERNAL="ddd"
 *   export WINE_DBG_NO_XTERM=1
 *   export WINE_DBG_SLEEPTIME=60
 *
