When I suggested adding the commands to the Makefile, I was thinking
of adding a separate target for generating the files.  It would not be
a dependency of "all", so it would not be built by default.  It would
only be necessary to add something to the configure script if you
decided that finding the name or location of the doxygen program
needed to be done automatically.  Since the rule would be optional in
the Makefile anyway, I don't think it would be necessary.
