Eclipse Debug Configuration should allow host as well as port

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Google Chrome version: dev channel
SDK + Eclipse Debugger version(s): 3.5 golden
OS + version: Mac OSX 10.5

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. From the Eclipse debug tool icon drop down, select "Debug 
Configurations..." 
2. Select "Chromium JavaScript", and select context menu item "New"

What is the expected result? In addition to Port: I expected to see Host: to 
allow me to remote debug.

What happens instead? No Host: entry field.

Please provide any additional information below. If possible, attach a
(reduced) test-case.

Currently, due to the security concerns, connections are allowed only from the 
localhost. There are plans (no definite timeline) to enable remote connections, 
too.

apavlov just asked me on IRC what my urgency on this was.  None.  Just seemed 
like an 
obvious thing to do, eventually.

Easy workaround is to use transparent proxy such as tcpproxy.js, 
see end of this page:

This technique can be used both for browser and server side V8 scripts.

This is actually a major issue when it comes to NodeJS and embedded V8 
developers out there. I would very much like to see this one implemented, would 
make life 10x easier.

A good point! Narrowing it down to "Standalone V8" case makes it easier to 
handle. No need to deal with Chromium security story.
