And this drags in lots of stuff, aye. But I wonder: Why does Doxygen even have to depend on graphviz? As far as I know, graphviz is only used optionally. Granted, during build time it checks for the presence of graphviz & the location of the "dot" executable. But as far as I can determine, this in turn is "only" needed to properly and completely build the Doxygen documentation. So how about patching doxygen to not use "dot", even if present, and then remove the graphviz dependency from doxygen?
