I don't think there is an easy way to automate this at present. The
current makefile generation code does not provide any support for tags
generation. The knowledge of which files get built for a specific
configuration (including automatically generated files) is only
available to C++ programs linked with libcdl, and there is no
documentation for the libcdl API at present (other than the comments
in the header files).

In the medium to long term, I hope to make this sort of information
available to Tcl scripts. However I do not know when this is going to
happen.
