In the "instant gratification" department, there is Emacs with the
Emacs Code Browser interface.  ECB contains a C++ parser done in
Lisp.  If you need to extract things, there is a PyMacs interface that
works quite well.
See http://www.emacswiki.org for details.
Given the "power, performance, ease of use; pick any two" cliché,
we're clearly ditching the middle one with this approach. :)
Best,
Chris
