OK, those are also just shell scripts, which we could distribute if
needed.

I could maybe be convinced that we should use Doxygen markup for
documenting the C++ classes in the Octave source code.  But I don't
see any reason to convert all the docstrings for Octave functions and
the text in the Octave manual to use Doxygen (if the latter change is
even possible).

Seems like a good idea to leave it as is.  Since there is a pretty wide
community of users of TeX and texinfo I think (hope) they will get working
as before, subject only to the usual problems as we have just experienced.
