        I agree; I'm for removing it completely, as we currently
        don't seem to have a need for it. We can always add it later.

        And right, the only thing they seem capable of is to detect
        if the html/pdf docs need to be rebuilt if an image was changed.

        It might be useful if, in the future, we had an automated system
        for updating the docs on the website. (But this currently seems to be a
        manual process)

        If that were the case, I'd suggest automating the construction
        of the macro with the following gnu make command:

IMAGEFILES=$(shell find $(SRC_DOCDIR) -name '*.png' -o -name '*.jpg')

        This uses 'find' to populate the list of IMAGEFILES. Regarding
        its use over ls(1):

        (a) 'find' ensures a /recursive/ search, since as we learned a week
        or so ago, doxygen will recursively search for an "\image" if it
        doesn't find it in the top level dir.

        (b) searching only for *.png and *.jpg files since those are the
        only file formats that work consistently for both html and latex
        constructions. This also prevents unwanted files like .svn/* and
        *.svn-base from getting into the list.

        The overhead of the above command is fairly negligible, so maybe
        that's the best solution.
