Description Alexander Simon 2006-12-27 10:56:46 UTC
Research and implement a file "discovery" facility for user and system files
required during parsing of the target application.

The proposed "discovery" facility logic is structured as a "wizard", and it
flows as follows:

[i] Ask the user to provide basic information to facilitate discovery. The 
choices include: make -n output, make output, makefile.in (used by auto*
configure tools), binary (compiled with -g option)
[ii] Ask the user to provide a list of locations (i.e. Path) where to search for
missing files
[iii[ Attempt to locate the list of missing files during the parsing phase
[iv] Ask the user to review the list of required files, and to manually change
these or add to the list, if necessary.
