[development] Vim for Drupal request

[Sam Tresler]

Thanks Neil,
   Some further digging and I found out that php code completion in vim 
can map to a ctags output file, which is pretty easy to generate.

ctags -R -o drupal6.tags --langmap=php:.module *

then load it in vim

:set tags=drupal6.tags

and you have code complete for every function in core.

However, this unfortunately doesn't get code complete on hooks, as they 
aren't actually named in core, but constructed from modulename_function().

So, I guess my next question is where are the hook function definitions 
from api.drupal.org generated?

Thanks in advance.

-S
