Very cool, thanks for the pointer.  You might also be interested in
GLOBAL--a less general tool that restricted to C and Yacc.  But it
does those incredibly well.  See:

For a cool demo of how well it does it's stuff see:

This is an htmlized FreeBSD-2.1.5 tree cross indexed in a way that has

useful.
