Hermès Bélusca-Maïto e1ef078741 Create this branch to work on loading of different Kernel-Debugger DLL providers, and see whether it is possible to move KDBG from ntoskrnl to a new DLL called, say, KDROSDBG.DLL.
The idea then would be to have the following behaviour (when specifying the following options in the kernel command line):

/DEBUGPORT=COMi --> load KDCOM.DLL and use COMi port (i == 1,2,3,4) if possible.
/DEBUGPORT=FOO  --> load KDFOO.DLL (useful for KDUSB.DLL, KD1394.DLL, KDBAZIS.DLL for VirtualKD, etc...)
/DEBUGPORT=ROSDBG:[COMi|SCREEN|FILE|GDB|...] --> load KDROSDBG.DLL which contains the ROS kernel debugger, and use COMi or SCREEN or... as output port.

========================
1. What is ReactOS?
ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system
that is compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers.
The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows XP/2003
drivers compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with
older version of Windows NT family ( NT 4.0, 2000 (NT 5.0)) and new
Windows NT releases (Vista, etc). Applications (Win32 API) compatibility
focus is Windows XP.
More information is available at http://www.reactos.org/.
2. Building ReactOS
See the INSTALL file for more details.
3. More information
See the media\doc subdirectory for some sparse notes.
4. Who is responsible
