The OP should do his distro's equivalent of "emerge --search ctags" to find the standard package for doing this. exuberant-ctags can do this for a bunch of commonly-used languages and a few that I've never heard of. vim and emacs can use tags files to jump directly to a variable's definition within the editor, at least. -- Due to inflation, your 40 acres and a mule have now been reduced to 400 square feet and a guinea pig.
