A while ago I wrote a little script that creates a tags file and  
looks up functions etc. It isn't very pretty but functional and  
relatively quick. I wrote up a quick description here:

Let me know if that is of any use. BTW I tried to record a macro that  
would combine setting a bookmark and then calling the ctags lookup,  
but apparently it is not possible to set bookmarks from a macro.
