I have published a quick & dirty Perl script that extracts a class
heirarchy from a collection of Cecil source files. It is in CVS at

$VORTEX/bin/shell/ExtractClassHierarchy.pl

Currently it only handles the common case, i.e. "object foo" or "object
foo isa bar" declarations that are formatted in standard Cecil style. It
uses simple line-oriented pattern matching, so it doesn't work for decls
spread over multiple lines or weirdly formatted decls. Nor does it handle
"representation" declarations.

However, it *does* handle out of order declarations (supertypes need not
be declared before subtypes), and I have made an effort to have it ignore
polymorphic type annotations so that

object foo isa bar[x];

will be recorded as a child of bar.

Multiply inheriting objects, and their subtrees, should be listed once
under each parent. I may add a flag that makes this optional if I feel
the need.

There may be bugs. Like I said, it's a quick & dirty script.
