Back-end for Igor Pro code?

Hello everybody!

I'd like to use doxygen to generate documentation from scripting
code for the Igor Pro data analysis tool (http://www.wavemetrics.com/).

I put a sample Igor Pro file at
http://www.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~bflorin/00Nuber.ipf
so you can get an impression about how Igor Pro scripting code looks
like.

The sample code at the URL above has comments which use doxygen-like
keywords to emphasize parameters, function briefs etc because I
originally intended to write some python scripts to do some
very rudimentary parsing & doc generating, but then I figured than since
doxygen does such a good job in generating all kinds of documentation
outputs, it might be a good idea to somehow teach doxygen how to read
Igor Pro files (.IPF) instead of re-inventing the wheel by writing a
code documentation program from scratch.

So, my question is, what would be the best approach to teach doxygen
how to read .IPF files? Where should I start?

About my skills: I have quite a lot of experience with like C/C++ and
some rudimentary experience with python. I'm average on using regular
expressions (mostly gained through shell scripting and sed parsing)...

best regards,
florin.
