I've been working on SourceBase (http://sourcebase.sf.net/) which is a
generic parser library with support for pluggable storage backends and
parsers. The current set of parsers include C, C++, Java, M4, Python,
etc. The significant thing is that the parsers can handle comments,
cross-freference, inheritence and other goodies, so it should be pretty
easy to do everything Doxygen, gtk-doc, etc. can with a bit of effort.

If there is interest in replacing gtk-doc with something more generic
and extensible, please let me know. SourceBase is pretty small (Glib is
the only dependency) and the parsers are pretty good (based off source
navigator). I'm hoping to make a release by the end of this month.
Something like this might be helpful if we wanted to expand the input parsing capabilities.

On the subject of the glib requirement, this would result in a circular dependency, since glib itself uses gtk-doc to build its documentation. We would need to work out how to work around this problem (or decide to ignore it).
