We're a mixed vi/emacs shop, and well, the vi fans are adamant, and
the emacs fans are adamant, and it's a pain to generate two tags
files for large pieces of software.

So, has anyone bothered to hack up tags.el to understand vi-style tags?

There're a couple of reasons for wanting to go in this direction.
First, it's easier to modify a private copy of some lisp code than
to hack up vi.  Second, ctags understands that a #define may be
important enough to put in a tags file.  Yeah, I could hack that into
etags, but why re-invent?

Thank you.
