Ok. My understanding of the previous conversation is as follows:
1) object to DOT, in any form, in the Makefiles
2) objection to HAVE_DOT being the default
3) objection to graphviz-produced docs hosted on gcc.gnu.org
The way this was resolved, or not resolved, previously:
1) punt to doxygen maintainer
2) patch, complain mightily, investigate graphviz replacements
3) remove generated docs, substitute replacement ones
Sorry if I was too optimistic on changing back #2. However, I think the
damage limited, and quite honestly, necessary if we are to get feedback
in a timely manner.
I will await feedback about #3 before proceeding to update the web pages.
