There is some time until the wrapper gets a gideon plugin, but it is 
basically a KDE interface to sourcenav functionality.

sourcenav maintains a symbol database, which is generated using a fuzzy 
parser so that you can browse the source code realtime, ie as you are 
writing. I can for instance directly go to the include hierarchy, or the call 
function graph, or the class hierarchy and move in the code like that. 
sourcenav has a project file, and lots of database files in a directory 
called .snprj. Very similar to what sniff++ does ;)

The great thing about sourcenav is that it can completely replace the current 
class-store. My intention is to make it optional... like the editor 
plugins... We'll see how that works, I don't want to destroy anybody else's 
code. Though I don't know how we could allow multiple class-store 
implementations to be used, maybe another bridge pattern here too. We can 
separate the interface and the implementation.

Anyway, I'm going to make the interface components quite modular, so that 
they can be used in any code.

Thanks,
