GDB dashboard

If you use GDB you definitely have to try

Dashboard package

by Andrea Cardaci.

Here is how it looks like:

Looks very nice, it updates itself each time when you `step` or do another action. It was confusing why Memory area is empty by default and shows nothing even when I try to `x <memory>`.

It turned out I have to tell dashboard to watch for particular area of memory. Here is how to do it:

`dashboard memory watch <addr> <how many bytes>`

for example:

`dashboard memory watch $ebp 42`

Now it looks awesome.
