Ok, for some reason I thought configure would add doc to the target list. 
Makefiles are still unfamiliar. Done now.

The documentation produced, is there a problem with hosting it somewhere? (If 
I keep it updated from CVS)? I've got the space to host it, if you'd like, 
although somewhere on gnucash.org would be more intuitive it would force the 
update burden onto someone else.

The big advantage with doxygen is the links from one typedef to another. I'll 
include doxygen compatible info in the files, certainly, but most of the 
docbook stuff is for my own reference and has a different emphasis to the 
doxygen output. It's not primarily for project use, although it may still 
turn out to be useful. e.g. if this information had been readily accessible 
when I started thinking about the merge facility, it would have made my life 
easier. If it helps anyone else get a start in a large project, especially 
someone like me whose degree isn't in computer programming/science, I don't 
see the harm - considering I'll be writing it anyway for my own use. I can be 
far more expansive in docbook and the docbook itself doesn't have to be 
packaged with the code.

Off to learn about doxygen now, adding to GTK, Glib, QOF, and automake. I may 
as well say this now, I'm NOT going to be able to learn Scheme as well! I'll 
need help with the GUI dialogs etc. Plenty of time yet though.
