Another alternative is planner.el
(http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PlannerMode), where you can set
up projects with corresponding tasks.  As you work with your code, you
do planner-create-task-from-buffer, describe your task (your TODO), and
select what project to add it to.  In your project's task list, each
item is hyperlinked to the line in the source file where you added it.
