Thanks.  I applied this changeset with a few additional changes and a
ChangeLog entry.

We should consider changing the name of the bp_table class to be
something else like "breakpoints".  Also, we have bp_set and bp_list,
which seems confusing, and intmap is not a very helpful name either.
So don't be too surprised if these change...
