And I was going to suggest that we just use the wiki for dev guide and 
tutorial and move them out of the dox.  The advantages I see for this are:

- It makes the documentation "live" on the web so everyone can comment, 
edit, change it.
- There is no generation step
- It is more direct because people don't have to edit a .dox file, test 
generate it, submit a patch, etc.

As far as cross linking:
   - Linking from wiki to doxygen: It looks like the doxygen plugin for 
trac will help out here.  We may also be able to create a simple macro 
that will create a link given the class name we want to link to.  But, 
this won't be an automatic process so it will be more work then we 
current go through.
   - Linking from doxygen to wiki: I wonder if we can configure a 
doxygen alias that would help with this so that all we had to do in the 
doxygen comments was to call the alias and list the name of the ref 
guide page to link to.  A define may also work.  I haven't tried either 
of these options though so I don't know if they will work.
