Hey John,

What exactly does this buy use over the regular doxygen docs?  I'm not
familiar with Zeal.  I don't have the tools installed on my machine to
verify this and I'm not a big fan of using pip on a system that uses a
package manager.  Is doxytag2zealdb packages for any distros?  I would
like a better picture of what this brings to the table and the
availability of any dependencies before I commit it.

Cheers,

Wayne
