I use both in all my development images: It makes TestDriven Development
much nicer... I think Debugger-Stubmethodcreation shouldn't be its own
package: It should be added to the standard debugger (thus harvested
into the image like a ENH to the Debugger).

BrowseUnit depends on SUnit, which is it's own package. So BrowseUnit
need to be in it's own package... But this package should be part of
"Basic". 

Other development-related changeset we should look at early in 3.7a are the
shriking-selections-patch (which allows to adjust selections
via shift-arrow), Avi's parenblinking and maybe the breakpoints package.
