[Cake] dscp & tunneling

[Dave Taht]

etags (or ctags) are friends here, as is cscope. I am in deep
gratitude to toke for supplying me a pretty good working .emacs.d set
of files for browsing code recently - I'd lost 20 years worth of
accumulated tools when my lab got stolen and don't do enough software
development today to justify sinking the time into making emacs sing
and dance anymore. That said, I don't understand 90% of all the cool
stuff he handed me...

in the linux kernel tree, do a make TAGS. then in emacs it's esc->. to
look up a symbol. There are ton of other things in cscope that are
pretty amazing. vi has similar interfaces as do eclipse.

I had it working 3 years back, yes, also.
