Has anyone used symbol completion with the tags generated by ebrowse,
the C++ tagger? Does it work well? How does it compare to the
intelligent symbol completion prrovided by Visual C++? The Windows
version of Emacs does not appear to contain the Ebrowse tag
generator. Does anyone know if ebrowse works on Windows?
