The CDT Project claims various fixes to their C++ indexer in, which is one
of the main problems in CDT

I was about to turn away from the post as it seemed you wanted to work
on windows until I saw this. Well I'm a bit biased (because I'm hacking
on it), but IMHO KDevelop is one of the best open-source IDE's and it
has a pretty Ok custom-makefile project support. Basically it runs make
in a project of your choice and you have to manage the CMakeLists.txt.
Its the application that all KDevelop and at least 1 Quanta hacker use
to work on the KDE4 (KDE4 uses CMake as buildsystem) version of KDevelop
(which will run natively on win32).

See www.kdevelop.org for more information, packages are available for
download for the popular distributions.
