Well, you do get errors running fixincludes without header files,
and a port would have to copy supplied header files to the
right place.  Perhaps the fixincludes errors wouldn't be fatal
in building the port, but copying non-existent header files
would be (but probably easily worked around).  At any rate,
the reason I haven't made a port was for the same reason
that Chuck Robey objected to - I didn't think making a port
for commercial software that has very low demand would be
acceptible (you could argue that a $500 cscope might have
a lot more demand than a $15K VxWorks development system,
though).

I don't have a port ready to go, but would make one if there
were a committer willing to commit it.  We could talk offline
about what tools, languages, and targets we wanted to support.
