[development] The Mestopheles path

Hi Don, yes, you're right, I used to use that and should dig it out. Of course, a breakpoint is based on Any idea of where to start :) For some reason devel's stack trace has nothing to say, which might mean something iterative is going on.

Hey Jeff,
I'm knee deep and a little lost on what you're trying to do, but phpEd 
plays really well on Windows. Plus, you can just place a debugBreak(); 
where ever you want the code to start stepping. Then you can walk 
through it.
