A couple of questions...

1. Has anyone written a reasonably intelligent C beautifier in elisp?
I'm talking about something that has some knowledge of C expressions
and operators and tries to do things like multi-expression lines
into single lines (I.E.: 	i = 0; b = 10; c = 20;  becomes:
	i = 0;
	b = 10;
	c = 20;
)
and proper spacing of operators (I.E. A[0]=f*(g-1) becomes A[0] = f * (g - 1)

Basically, electric-c enables one to tab things out nicely, but not
to do anything about basic form. I'd like something that would do
both. Has anyone written anything like this?

Question two... Is there any way to have more than one TAGS file
searched? I.E. I have some code that spans several directories (though
libraries and such) and it would be *real handy* to be able to click
on a tag and have it be found even if it's in a library somewhere.
It seems like such an obvious need that I'd be surprised if there was
no way of addressing it. Again, any clues?

Thanks much.
