however how do you take "decisions" in text conf files?
some functions take boolean arguments and output different strings 
dependending on it...
I was proposing something simpler only for project-specific filtering; 
changing all doxygen's Translator class implementations seems 
inefficient to me (doxygen would be slower since it needs to read the 
text conf file).

I don't think this is a major problem... not many doxygen users compile 
it from sources I think (all major distro have it packaged) :)

ops; here I wanted to write

trGeneratedAutomatically{1}=Generated for \1 by Doxygen

actually.

hmmm, I think reusing the same ALIASes syntax would be simpler and more 
intuitive for the user...

in fact... my approach seems easier to me.

Thanks anyway for your suggestions :)
