Cvsweb doesn't make the whole source hyperlinked.  This is more than a nice
addition.  If we want an easy solution i'm with GLOBAL: it can make static
HTML pages very easy (commands: "gtags && htags" and all's done:).  It can
do searching but this wants CGIs.  It includes regex support too.

lxr has a nice output too.  There is a concise tutorial for GLOBAL
<http://www.tamacom.com/global/global.html> that can be linked from
hurd.gnu.org.

Whatever system we choose i'll mention again that GNUMach has to be treated
equally to Hurd (good or bad, it's the only microkernel Hurd runs on).
