Thanks :)

Yes, that's a very nice example of extending Doxygen. I think if we want to
integrate this kind of stuff in the NetBSD website, we must do something
similar so that it can cope with NetBSD.org look and feel. About the
downloadable version, Doxygen can do it by himself.

We could have the same timeline for NetBSD-current.

That's something that must be discussed, because not everyone may want to
add Doxygen comments to the source. Another ideia is to add some target
to build.sh/Makefile to generate Doxygen documentation.

Doxygen comments aren't very intrusive, though.
