> Is it easy to modify etags.c so that it recognizes other languages?

No, it's not too difficult.  (Of course it depends on the syntactical
complexity of your language at hand.)

If you can identify your functions by regexp pattern matching,
a simple awk script will be your friend.

A tagger based on vgrindefs-entries would be much more elegant than
hacking etags.c up and up and up for each new language.
