I have the scanner mostly written; there is one bug yet to fix (This
time for sure!).  Presently, it creates a single file WTAGS which
contains an easily-read (my man or machine) flat file index.  I will
presently be modifying it to generate Emacs's etags format, as well as
ctags, and as soon as I learn it, GSYMS format.

At the moment, the scanner scans tsleep, asleep, and ttysleep calls.
What other sleep functions can have the wchan specified as a string
literal?  There being no robust manner to handle calls with a computed
or dereferenced wchan, such as acquire(), I will allow for a notation
of /* WCHAN: foo */ to cause the appropriate information to be added
to the database.

Thanks,
