The tcl/tk scripts I've done grabs everything, then you tell it incrementally
what functions to "loose", things like "__.*" and "mtx.*" is a good start.

You can also add lines which are missing.

Since the script have no idea where calls through pointers go it
adds a pseudofunction with a star prefixed, and it's your own
responsibility to link these up.

It's not great, but it works.  It would be neat if somebody write code to
use the GUI bits of Tk so that you could point and click more etc.
