Okay, let's try to change the approach completely.  We should be able to
do that all inside find-tag, without even changing the user interface.

Using C-u M-. one can search for more tags.  We (not me, please!) can
change find-tag so that, before looking in the TAGS buffer for more
tags, the current buffer is searched backwards from point for a #line
directive.  If that is found, jump to the correponding location in the
file referenced by #line. 

Etags is left unchanged.
