thanks :) i know its not really needed yet. people have been talking about, 
so i just tried to provide a semi-graceful solution that wouldn't force an 
immediate massive rewrite.

uhhhh... i screwed that up. i though i needed a change, and then got the exit 
values wrong when i redid it. i guess i should roll it back... how is that 
done w/cvs? replace a locally modified file w/ the cvs version.

actaully the html was to make it look better on a web page. it looks crappy 
in code, but its meant for export. previous version of doxygen haven't done 
that. i'll update.

convention from work. i get confused sometimes :) the sad thing is i wrote 
the doxygen style guide using **'s. i'll roll over to my own proposal.
