I have written a script that produces a serchable catalog of the entire
xfree86 source. And lists all of the types that are used by xf86.
It is located at <josie.atypedigital.com/xc/>. For example, if you were
to search for "_Screen" it would return a list of all declareation of type
_Screen in the source, there is only one. And it would take you to it's
declaration. Where apon you could click on the types of it's members and
it would take you to a list of the declations of that particular type.
Very usefull for getting a general understanding of the types. Or simply
looking up what the structure of a particular struct is, because if you
don't know what header it is actually in, that can be a half hour
nightmare. If this looks interesting to the appropriate people (who I
assume are on this list?) mabie it could go on the documentation list on
xfree86.org. I know it would have helped me if it was there.

Is there something of an online code repository of xf86 that has
highlighting and crosslinking. (so inside a function declaration, where a
function is called, you can click the function and it will take you to
it's declaration?) Or would this be something of interest to writing.
Because if there is not this is what I am contemplating seting up. I know
there are several different packages that can do this (any one have a
sugestion on which one to use?)

Thanks,

Josie Imlay
