nup. because enlightenment_start execs enlightenment after some very basic
initial sanity checks/setup. enlightenment_start was intended to not use any
efl (though it now uses eina) so it can set up ld_library_path and other things
in case efl is installed in a non-standard place etc. as such we can probably
kill enlightenment_start now. anyway - an exec breaks gdb's attachment and then
it is no longer tracing e. :)
