Could you please extend dr command to accept optional argument to dump only
specific register?

dumping a single register basically takes as long as dumping all of
them. therefore i don't see the advantage of doing that.
why do you need it?

Because I am writing a front end for ddbg and it supports breakpoint
conditions. I wish to enable the user to compare the value of a register in 
given condition, so I don't need to parse the output for all registers, but if
you say it takes the same time there is really not much point...

well, parsing is somewhat slower when all registers are ouput, of
course. but the way you're realizing conditional breakpoints is
inherently slow anyway.
i'd suggest to postpone that until Ddbg provides proper conditional
breakpoint support.
