bcd is more likely to work because it uses a complete compiler front-end 
(gcc-xml) to parse the source.

If you go for BCD and you're on Windows, don't overlook this precompiled 
version here:
     http://dsource.org/projects/bcd/browser/downloads
(Didn't used to be linked from the BCD page ... maybe it is now)

I never got around to trying BCD, though, so don't ask me for a 
tutorial.  But if you do get it working you should definitely write a 
tutorial so I can read it. :-)
