Thanks, But I think I write my own plugin, cause this is overkill to me. A file size of more than 250 MB is just a waste. Writing a plugin which analizes included header files and ctags them one by one is a better approach. When adding an include file, Vim will automatically ctags that particular file by first looking if it's already done that, otherwise look in the project and than in /user/include, /usr/local/ include.
This will ctag also self created source files.
