make TAGS? ;-) Yes, you have to do some work outside the buffer
you're in, but "almost able to compile the code" isn't necessary.
In elisp this functionality has long been available (as long as you've
tested the code by loading the source file(s) in question).

No. What is the controversy about? Something that will influence an
upgrade of CEDET in the packages?
Yidong left out a pile of sources (the grammars) and the code needed
to compile the grammars into wisent parsers when he merged CEDET into
Emacs. AIUI in the end RMS said "it's ok if you include the sources
even if you can't just do 'make' to build things from scratch". I
don't know if they're able to bootstrap the parsers with just a
"make".
David Kastrup was a little peeved, and I don't blame him. His project
can't get merged because they lack assignments for maybe 5% or 10% of
the code in AUCTeX, but CEDET can be merged even though the way it was
done makes it impossible for 3rd parties to legally redistribute the
FSF's tarballs! (That's been fixed, too, with a special permission
from the FSF.)
