Lex, any news on speeding up the project index? The tags file
generation was done in 6 seconds, the Project plugin takes up to 10
minutes to do the same, with the addition of the "go to definition"
support ...

$ time geany -g /tmp/drupal7.php.tags $(find . -type f -name '*.php'
-o -name '*.module' -o -name '*.inc' -o -name '*.install' -o -name
'*.engine')
