You don't need to give up so easily. ;) I still estimate this at only a few
hours of effort; your best bet would probably be writing a few scripts to
rename the include guards and all instances of the basenames of the headers
in the source tree. And searching for wildcards like "*.h" from the source.
For doxygen, it indeed picks up all the files, but I was referring to
possible comments like "See basicoptions.h for the available concrete
classes.", which explicitly mention the name of some file. There isn't that
many of these, as mostly the documentation only references class names, but
there are some.
