Well, since we have doxygen in the build, and the generated html docs
are so easy to read .. seems sort of silly not to make it uniform :)

If nobody replies with a resounding PLEASE NO, I'll go ahead and do
it .. libxc needs some comment love anyway.

It is very frustrating and difficult for people to write apps that work
with Xen using the shipped (or wiki) documentation. All too often,
what's on the wiki is not in step with unstable, so each new release is
like an easter egg hunt.

I also have some autoconf macros that I'll post to help stop breakage
due to structures shifting members. from the earlier days of v3 (but
still in use).
