it looks like an interesting tool in its own right, but...

the killer feature of OpenGrok is that it can search for definitions.

for example try this:

> http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/search?q=&defs=sal_uInt32&refs=&path=&hist=&project=%2FCurrent+%28trunk%29

not perfect (in fact the results here surprise me a bit), but very useful.
