+The original __init__.py is the file posted to http://www.scons.org/wiki/DoxygenBuilder by Matthew Nicolson
+2006-03-31.  Attached to this wiki page were two other files, both of which are included here:
+doxygen_reiners_2007-02-26.py, and doxygen_boehme_2007-07-18.py.  Boehme's version seems to include many of
+the changes in Reiners but many of Reiners changes are missing from Boehme.  It is not clear why Reiner's
+changes have been reverted by Boehme.  it seems appropriate to merge in Boehme's directly rather than
+Reiner's and then Boehme's.
+
+Robert Smallshire in his email of
+http://scons.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1272&dsMessageId=2383574 supports the move to use
+Boehme's version as the next iteration.  It may then be that a version he has can be merged in.
+
+Apart from one change to the builder command line, Norton's version seems to be Boehme's version with all
+the TAGFILE stuff removed.
