There is a version of ctags called "etags" that comes with GNU Emacs.  This
version does *not* grok C++, but there IS also another version of "etags" that
comes with the GNU C++ class library, libg++, which supposedly does.

Get the GNU libg++ 2.4 distribution from aeneas.MIT.EDU in ~ftp/pub/gnu; once
unbundled, the file is .../libg++-2.4/libg++/utils/etags.c.  By going to the
".../utils" directory, you can say "make etags".  Since I also had Emacs, I
installed this libg++ version of "etags" as "etags++".  Caveat: "etags" will
gen tag table files that Emacs can grok, but "vi" can't.  So if you want a
"ctags++" for "vi", you might be out of luck.  Caveat 2: the Emacs man page
for "etags" lists a "--c++" option, but I wasn't under the impression that
this option made it understand C++ code.  There are notable changes between the
Emacs' "etags" code and the libg++ "etags" code (which I wish would change).
