It's great to hear that you have been working on this. I'm also very
interested in getting CEDET upstream and CEDET in emacs synchronized
again. Please see also this bug report:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=23792

This also contains a patch for the emacs sources which I've come up
with half a year ago, but it's probably incomplete and even wrong in
places. But maybe we can compare what we did.

Do you have a git repository cloned from CEDET upstream which contains
your work somewhere? Or did you start by modifying the built-in CEDET
in emacs?
