Sorry Kostja,

it's my fault: I have not yet had the time to document the new emacs
mode.  The old way of doing things is gone and was entirely replaced
by the new concept of "profiles".  In fact, I did this redesign
precisely because I was tired of how complicated it was to properly
debug with gdb.

Now, you can create profiles for installed versions of mozart as well
as for build directories and you can configure each profile
individually according to whether it should run under gdb etc...

The way to do this is to invoke M-x customize-group RET mozart RET
or directly M-x customize-variable RET oz-profiles RET

This gives you a very convenient interface for creating new profiles
and configuring them.  In particular, you'll find a field "Run Under
GDB" which you can toggle.

I won't have time to write proper doc until next (I am going to Paris
this weekend and giving a seminar in Jussieu on Monday).  But don't
hesitate to ask questions if you can't figure it out and I'll do my
best to answer.

Cheers,
