> * Modify API meson.build file to configure two separate doxygen config
>   files, for HTML and manpages respectively.
> * Change doxygen wrapper script to have separate output log files for
>   the manpage and HTML jobs, to avoid conflicts
> * Add "custom_targets" to meson.build file to build the HTML pages and
>   the manpages, with individual install locations for each.
> * Where supported by meson version, call "mandb" post-install to update
>   the man database to ensure the new manpages can be found. If the
>   manpages are not installed in system location i.e. one not in MANPATH,
>   then this update will have no effect, as only system locations are
>   scanned.
