The detailed problem has been solved. There is a bigger picture
description of a task that needs doing in the thread "Introduction and a
project".
The original mission was going to be to find the declaration for the
widely used C++ type "String". It appears to get mapped, probably
through some configure magic, to the class UniString in
main/tools/inc/tools/string.hxx.
The problem was that "String" is such a widely appearing string that it
was hard to narrow down searches. It was found by getting some field
names from Visual Studio and searching for them instead.

volunteers?
