The documentation in the doxygem manual is terrible on this point.
Thanks for giving us an example.

Yes, we can generate and distribute a tag file of some kind.
The "recommended" method in the doxygen manual hardcodes all kinds of
incorrect information in the tag file, so I'm trying another method.
But I don't have any other project here that references libstdc++, so I
can't test it easily.  Would you be willing to test this tag file:

    http://www.jaj.com/space/phil/libstdc++.tag 

with your code?  If I understand the setup correctly, it should look like

    TAGFILES = ....../libstdc++.tag=\
    http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/latest-doxygen/

(possibly without the final '/').

If that works, we'll start doing it for 3.3.2 and later.


Thanks for your help,
Phil
