Very nice!

Yes. Also, I find ecb (emacs code browser) + tags to be a nice help
when trying to wrap my head around gfortran.

A nitpick, the doxygen docs look somewhat C++-y, with "::" and so
on. I think you might be looking for the "OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_FOR_C"
config option.

Come to think of it, why not increase the usefulness of doxygen by
'doxygenizing' the source? One might even be so lazy as to copy the
infrastructure (Makefile target, config files) from libstdc++-v3 (look
in the libstdc++-v3/docs/doxygen/ directory).
