I use "Exuberant Ctags" for generating a "tags" file, and NEdit for
editing source code. NEdit loads the "tags" file and can jump to
definitions. If there are multiple function definitions, NEdit offers a
list of matches to pick from -- which is really helpful whenever
multiple lib instances implement a particular library class (i.e., when
multiple function definitions exist for a particular prototype).
