-The DWARF Debugging Information Format is of interest to programmers working on
-compilers and debuggers (and anyone interested in reading or writing DWARF
-information). It was developed by a committee (known as the PLSIG at the time)
-starting around 1991. Starting around 1991 SGI got involved with the committee
-and then developed the libdwarf and dwarfdump tools for SGI-internal use and as
-part of SGI IRIX developer tools. From around 1993 dwarfdump and libdwarf were
-shipped (as an executable and archive respectively, not source) with every
-release of the SGI MIPS/IRIX C compiler. In 1994 (I think the correct year) SGI
-agreed (at my request) to open-source libdwarf (and in 1999 to open-source
-dwarfdump) so anyone could use them.
