Gregory Szorc 6ce7780306 Bug 1129798 - Use pdb.runcall to debug mach commands; r=ahal
The previous debugger was setting a breakpoint in the mach dispatcher.
This required users to step into the main function to be called into.
Using pdb.runcall(), the debugger starts at the first line in the
executed command, which is far more useful.

mach
====

Mach (German for *do*) is a generic command dispatcher for the command
line.

To use mach, you install the mach core (a Python package), create an
executable *driver* script (named whatever you want), and write mach
commands. When the *driver* is executed, mach dispatches to the
requested command handler automatically.
