And source C++ reverse engineering to UML.
Needs, choose a repositery for the code generated, select C and H directories.
Call the reverse C++.  Allow adding more source to UML.
We need also to specify how many levels deep you want on a drawing.
This means we end up with many drawings.

Consequence, we need a data base to know how/what to update the other diagrams
after a modification.  That is nice, I see a big decision here.

We need a development tree(cvs branch) for this, is it possible.
Do we have any "open reverse C++" tools already available.
