Hi Alastair,

I'd really like to include ede-compdb in CEDET. We already discussed
this last year, and I'm sorry that I dropped the ball on that.

Were there some open issues with the code? I think all that was still
needed was to include the documentation from your Readme.org into our
Texinfo manuals. However, if you don't feel comfortable around Texinfo,
we can convert it, though.

I think we also agreed that it is best if you maintain ede-compdb
yourself, so you don't have to wait for me and Eric.  So Eric, could you
please give user 'alastair' push access to the Git repository?

Lately, I also had an idea: wouldn't it be cool if the compilation
database could be generated from a compilation buffer? I mean, I use gcc
and I could use this 'bear' utility to generate the db, but I run 'make'
inside Emacs anyway, so all the data that is needed is right there in
the output. Eclipse has the same feature for 'make'-based projects: it
scans the output for preprocessor symbols, includes, etc. It's very
useful.
