IMHO, the C++ version is simpler to maintain, I think we need an independent opinion on the "simpler to maintain" point - I'm not sure I agree, but then of course I set up the new version so I'm not the best person to judge. Also, remember we may end up removing Boost entirely at some point in the future. > more effificient for long-running mged processes (which many practical ones > are), I'm missing something here - my understanding was this tool only generates xml and html outputs reporting on pre-defined standard attributes.

Modifying standard attributes will be a very rare process. It's not clear to me that user contributed attributes (and the meaning of that phrase is itself a bit unclear) would or should be part of the core man page - if they graduate to a "standard" they become part of the standard attributes list, otherwise they're a user customization/convention. >>.and generates its outputs only in the build directory. > > I'm not sure I understand all the CMake mods but I'm sure they're > great, but one reason to have the html file generated in the source > directory is to ease its linkage from it to its eventual place in the > site web page on brlcad.org where the CURRENT_BINARY_DIR can be all > over the map. Hmm. That's a good point. I think r58904 addresses that issue.
