I would suggest looking at gtk-doc.

On Ubuntu, it's packaged as gtk-doc-tools, with dependencies on
DocBook, xsltproc, Jade, etc., so you can do a one-step install of the
whole tool set.  It's probably the same on other platforms.

gtk-doc can extract structured comments from your source code and you
can write chapters in DocBook as well.

There's numerous projects that include gtk-doc in their configure
scripts and Makefiles.  I use it for xmlroff (http://xmlroff.org/),
but I haven't changed anything about it in configure.in since gtk-doc
0.10 was new (it's now at 1.7), so there may be newer features or
macros available that xmlroff is not using (and not missing).
