I sympathise :)

One note, for anyone thinking of doing this - make sure it works  
usefuly with valgrind, gdb et al, it's one thing to find that some  
plugin explodes sometimes, it's quite another to show where, how and  
why.

That means avoiding excessive threads and subprocesses among other  
things.
