Hi,

We just tried Source Navigator  over ITK:

   http://sources.redhat.com/sourcenav/

It is a code browser distributed as opensource
product from RedHat (originally developed
by Cygnus).

It is fully capable of interpretring ITK and
build the corresponding database for it in
about 15 minutes.

You can navigate through     #includes
(easily identify redundant includes and
cycles).  Search for places where variables
have been defined or where they are used.

  It is really nice !

You can do things like search for all the
Filters with "SetInput()" methods and
from the returned list click on items like
if they were hypertext.  It can be used
in conjunction with gvim and emacs,
and can work with "Insight" the GUI for
gdb.

It seems to be implemented in Tcl,
so probably there is a way of running it
on Windows (don't know for sure).
