support for virtual core files (aka minidumps). physical core
files are not supported.
The implementation is cross-tool ready and can be used in a non-
powerpc hosted debugger to analyze PowerPC core files. It also
accepts core files that still have the dump header, as can be
the case within Juniper where TFTP-based kernel core files are
supported and savecore is not used to "extract" the core file
from some dump device.
