I agree with everything you have said and here is what I do to keep my 
TAGS file up to date:

  http://paste.lisp.org/display/132935

It requires the use of prosjekt. When the project is opened, TAGS are 
re-generated and whenever a file is saved, that TAGS file is updated.

Good enough for me most of the time, but yeah, it would be beyond 
awesome if Someone (TM) would use clang or something that understands 
C++ better to generate the TAGS files...
