Hi,

Doxygen 1.4.x has a completely overwritten scanner engine
(splitting and allowing custom language parsers), which will
give it a fresh wind for its sails during the 1.4.x development.

Unfortunately you might expect some incompatibilities and
changes at the beginning. The first fixes are available from
the CVS as doxygen-1.4.1-20050210.tar.gz.

If you want to save time at the beginning you may wait a little
or compile the doxygen with the line "#define COMMENTSCAN"
in scanner.l commented out to get the old scanner behavior.
Not sure about the XML tags, however.

The XML/XSD in doxygen has been developed the "hacking",
a bit wilder way, not with a primary focus on a fixed, complete
and versionable XML description of commented sources.
Such an iniciative would be nice and I would be willing to help.
