I'll have a peek at CodeViz. Even a first approximation of unused code
would be so much better than nothing.

I don't have the link right here, but I saw someone was working on a project
to list unused #include files. That too would be a big boon in untangling
large 20 year old code.

I'll settle for good guesses when iron clad guarantees are provably
impossible :-)
