ECB = Emacs Code Browser, quick to set up, my head is less befuddled with code/file locations

;ECB = Emacs Code Browser
;Sometimes there are too many source code files, directories and lines.
;ECB turns emacs into a more friendly source code editor/browser.
;Emacs is zippy and lightweight and stable when compated with Eclipse/Netbeans/Visual Studio
;The install doc is slightly scary however the install is really easy.
; there's just one easy to install dependancy which is CEDET (= Collection of Emacs Development Environment Tools)

; get cedet, unpack it (I'm working in ~/src) and build it with `make`
; http://sourceforge.net/projects/cedet/files/cedet/1.0pre6/cedet-1.0pre6.tar.gz/download
; add settings in your .emacs (see below)
; get ecb, unpack it
; http://sourceforge.net/projects/ecb/files/ecb/ECB%202.40/ecb-2.40.tar.gz/download
; add settings in your .emacs (see below): add to load-path and (require 'ecb)
; restart emacs
; you may be prompted to confirm some initialisation actions
; in emacs: tools -> Start Code Browser ECB
