I think I disagree with Boudewijn on this point. IMHO, Eric (the PyQt debugger)
works in this way: there is a DebugServer (run from Eric) and a DebugClient,
which is a separate process. The communication is with sockets.

The DebugServer, DebugClient and Shell give you more power than my
attempts. It looked a little bit overkill for what I needed.

It is a way to sneak out, if Qt and MFC do not want to get married.
