Is this page 

  http://members.fortunecity.com/nymia/postgres/dox/backend/html/

common knowledge?  It appears to be an automatically-generated
cross-reference documentation web site.  My impression is that
appropriately-marked comments in the code get extracted to the 
web pages, too, so it is also a way to automate internal 
documentation.

Interesting, but bizarrely incomplete.  (Yeah, we have only ~100
struct types ... sure ...)

It does say "version 0.0.1".  

What was interesting to me is that the interface seems a lot more 
helpful than the current CVS web gateway.  If it were to be completed, 
and could be kept up to date automatically, something like it could 
be very useful.

Re: doxygen & PG
The site mentioned was created by me. I used doxygen to create those html
files. And it's just the first stab. It doesn't have have doxygen tags yet
that's why it looks like that.

The reason why I made it was to make it easier for me ( and others as well )
to read the code though. So far, I've learned a lot using this technique.

There is another one I'm working on and it's at
