It would be trivial to add --enable-doxygen (or --disable, if we want them
done by default).  This could conditionally add a 'doxygen' directory
to the top-level SUBDIRS in Makefile.am, and a doxygen/Makefile to the
AC_OUTPUT list in configure.in.  That Makefile can do whatever we need,
like running shell commands, or a script if it gets that complicated.

If we need everything in a separate directory, that might be the easiest
way to go.  If we don't, then there are some "smaller" solutions.
