> > * Modify API meson.build file to configure two separate doxygen config
> > files, for HTML and manpages respectively.
> > * Change doxygen wrapper script to have separate output log files for
> > the manpage and HTML jobs, to avoid conflicts
> > * Add "custom_targets" to meson.build file to build the HTML pages and
> > the manpages, with individual install locations for each.
> > * Where supported by meson version, call "mandb" post-install to update
> > the man database to ensure the new manpages can be found. If the
> > manpages are not installed in system location i.e. one not in MANPATH,
> > then this update will have no effect, as only system locations are
