After your hint, I've experienced a little bit with vgrind. And sure
it works correct, but only and really only if the sources are passed
through indent. Then there are the function definitions at the left
margin and vgrind produces an index file.
Perhaps it would be wise to point to this assumtions vgrind made in
the manpage at an early point. Also an option that pases the sources
through indent cound be a nice extension or a link in the 'SEE ALSO'
section to indent.
Regards
Lars
