Some bits are easy.  CEDET can certainly report a list of header file
strings included in a file (and resolve them to actual files,
presuming that things are set up correctly), and for each file, can
give the symbols (functions, classes, methods, etc.) defined in each
file.  However, finding the referenced symbols is likely to be
harder---you'd really need a full parse for that (especially for
C++---for C or something you could get a pretty good first
approximation by searching for words, ignoring string constants and
comments).  Having said that, CEDET can do things which suggest that
it's not impossible, like parsing local context to get the
intellisense-like completions.

Not that I'd want to put anyone off trying---if we could do that, then
we could do callgraphs and things, which would be very cool.
