I don't see a way to do this properly so that it works in all 
situations. Doxygen is called from multiple locations including 
makefiles, debian/rules, and shell scripts so it is not possible to 
reliably supply command line options to it. Likewise there is no common 
pattern that would allow to reliably identify the configuration file 
used by doxygen.

Do you have any ideas on how to make it work?
