A couple weeks ago I wrote a quick hack to parse Continuous build logs
and extract CFLAGS for the built files. It can use this to then go
perform static analysis on the module with clang and extract/resolve all
function calls.

The goal was to be able to tell us which API are used the most (and
therefore requires our attention to documentation), but we could also
use it to tell developers everywhere in g.g.o that their API is being used.

I expect to build this out as I work more on documentation stuff for
Builder.
