Yeah, crazy things happen there. Installing doxygen also forces the user
to install whole TeX!!!

Yeah, unfortunately there was no movement in that direction since then…
Well, I guess that’s a point which I should put on our TODO list then. :)
It looks like we also should keep a more general todo list than the one
meant for the IRC sessions (which seem to be unneeded ATM as the RB activity
rose so nicely!).
