Project roots is the root for different projects.  So if you have
code in /home/me/myproject, you would make that a root, and if you
are working in a file in /home/me/myproject/bob, and you want to find
a symbol in the /home/me/myproject/fred directory, the root will find
that commonality.

In semantic 1.4.4, there is no convenience that will reach out into
the header files for those types of searches.  cedet 1.0beta1 does
have that ability for C files, which I am in the process of working
the last crash out of so I can finalize the beta.  This distribution
also has the shell scripts for pre-building cache files, and
pre-building system cache files from headers in /usr/include, or
wherever.

I'll send email to many lists when the last crash is removed and a
new tar file is uploaded.
