Hi Jari,

Yes, mlcscope was from 2006, and it also came from the Lucent exptools 
source tree which is a different version than the gnu cscope. Lucent has 
since stopped distributing mlcscope so I think putting cscope in the 
packaging is a good thing. I've thought about doing it myself - but 
hadn't got to it - glad you have followed this path.

Cheers
Dave
