All I'm aspiring to do at this point, which would already be a big step
forward, is to provide a package that only has the Debug CDT
perspective. The plan is to build from there.

Having only the Debug perspective would already greatly reduce the
number of concepts introduced before developers can start debugging with
CDT as GDB GUI.

I tried to take the RCP stuff for a spin, but haven't figured out how to
create a RCP project with anything but the Hello World perspective...
This is more of a RCP problem than a CDT problem obviously.

I got as far as hello world which included the CDT plugins and the RCP
Product Deployment Wizard seemed to put together the right file
deployment tree... *neat*! 

Pointers welcome! ;-)
