Meeting agenda

[Christophe de Dinechin]

A few comments:

- Why would we need the beginning of the info block? All the routines I
specified were routines that I actually use in my implementation. I have no need
for the beginning of the info block. I don't remember the request either :-)

- You changed the stop function to return a bool rather than an int. I think
this is not sufficient. The value EH_INSTALL_CONTEXT may still need to be
returned, otherwise you would not be able to call the landing pads.

- You forgot the description of what happens if the stop function is NULL. I
think we agreed that the stop parameter would be a frame pointer in that case.
