Any tagger could be used in semantic for a backend when searching for
tags by name.  Only semantic provides the details needed for editing
conveniences, or non-name based searching.

There is currently no canned support for etags.  If it were written,
it would be useful when pointing CEDET at a new batch of source-code
for the first time, but after a while, CEDET would have parsed
everything and the TAGS file would be ignored.  You can already do
this with EBROWSE.  See `semanticdb-create-ebrowse-database`.
