This might be sacrilegious (:-) but I use Emacs bookmarks to be able to
jump easily to headings in my various org files.  Easy to set up and
very easy to use.  I bookmark a number of headings and thereafter don't
care which actual org files they reside in.

See bookmark-set, bookmark-bmenu-list and bookmark-jump.  At least in
Emacs 24.0.50.x, the bookmark package is available by default.  Probably
in earlier versions but cannot easily check...
