+Egypt is a simple tool for creating call graphs of C programs. Egypt neither
+analyzes source code nor lays out graphs. Instead, it leaves the source code
+analysis to GCC and the graph layout to Graphviz, both of which are better at
+their respective jobs than egypt itself could ever hope to be. Egypt is simply a
+very small Perl script that glues these existing tools together.
