This has been contributed by David Hovel (Microsoft too), but it still
isn't well integrated to the release.  It might need some adaptation
to the 3.3 series and there was a foreign code hack required that is
not needed any longer.  Anyhow, I put the stuff nice and hidden in

	ftp://swi.psy.uva.nl/pub/SWI-Prolog/ALPHA/

If you fix it to run with Prolog without modifying (it uses a hack
to find out whether or not SWI-Prolog was compiled for debugging, this
is now officially available through current_prolog_flag/2), I'd be
pleased to put it into the packages directory.
