  Yes - in principle. However, in cases lke this, I *do* want to jump to
the header file (to see the procedure spec. & any comments), and don't
actually have the ode body accessible.

  I'd probably leave it there, except that it's working the way I want it
for all my GTK headers, which are in another place.

  E.g., from my gdk/gdk.h [GTK+1.2.8]

void          gdk_window_set_icon        (GdkWindow       *window,
                                          GdkWindow       *icon_window,
                                          GdkPixmap       *pixmap,
                                          GdkBitmap       *mask);
  ... then in my .tags.gtk :
!_TAG_FILE_FORMAT	2	/extended format; --format=1 will not append ;" to
lines/
!_TAG_FILE_SORTED	1	/0=unsorted, 1=sorted/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_AUTHOR	Darren Hiebert	/da...@hi.../
!_TAG_PROGRAM_NAME	Exuberant Ctags	//
!_TAG_PROGRAM_URL	http://darren.hiebert.com/ctags/	/official site/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_VERSION	3.5.1	/with C, C++, Eiffel, Fortran, and Java 
support/
<snip>
gdk_window_set_icon	/usr/include/gdk/gdk.h	/^void	     
gdk_window_set_icon	 (GdkWindow	  *window, $/;"	p


  Why has ctags picked up the header entries here, and not the GNOME
headers?

  hang on , I'll just check something ... AAARGH! it's not generating them
now! I *must've* given ctags some bizarre option to make it do it.

  Hah! --c-types=p


  I must've figured that out a while back & forgotten. Let's hope I
remember for /next/ time!
