We don't need a C interperter to use ETAGS. A modified version of this 
would do most of the work I think. (It would help to parse and keep track 
of the global namespace of the current module, too, so 'interesting' 
imports work properly. Use this to figure out what module/name we are 
talking about, and ETAGS to find that. Or something. I couldn't do this. 
Not now, not yet. =)
