No. No no no no no. You may as well suggest we use CMU CLISP. Making use of a 
specific shell instead of POSIX is just a really bad idea. If you write 
"shell" every place you wrote "Bash" then I'd be willing to consider it. Or 
if you write "Python", that's ok as well since we have a Python dependency 
for building _anyway_ in KDE4. But don't go adding new dependencies to 
unnecessary crap.

A fully automatic approach is to be preferred. Look at the apidox things -- 
there's a single line to add to Makefile.am and the tools figure it out. The 
existing extractrc stuff should (have) be factored into something like the 
admin/Doxyfile.am .
