I must admit to be being, not for the first time, a little confused
between the tags option available in emacs. Discounting the use of GNU
Global (no elisp) support, I have used in the past (on debian) something
like

,----
| SRC=~/.emacs.d
| cd $SRC
| ctags-exuberant  -e --recurse=yes --links=yes --verbose=no
`----

to generate tags. But the info page for ctags-exuberant lists ctags and
etags. But these are different programs which do not take the same
parameters? Any clarification from someone much appreciated.
