I am looking for a tool which given a set of lisp files would tell me
which files x is using the macros defined in files y.  It is more or
less like a makedep (used by C programmers) except that with makedep,
the #include declaration is used instead of the symbols.

In the lisp case, you have first to extract the macros symbols, then
look in which file it is used.

It would be nice if it was detecting all the macros (even those
generated by defstruct calls).

One trick would be to redefined defmacro such that it remembers where
the macro is defined (in file y), and at macro expansion time, it
prints a statement saying that file x (the one you are currently
compiling) is using file y. I am not sure how well this would deal
with defstruct access function though.

Thanks in advance for any pointer.
