	Yes, this is exactly what I do for the vtk-doc debian packages
I've made.  The package integrates with dwww (the debian web based
documentation system) and builds the search tags based the users
requirement.  My version is simply a hack using doxygen for the class
hierarchy and search engine and vtkHTML for the docs (and perl one
liners to connect the two up).  The next version of the debs will
hopefully feature your and Sebastien's perl scripts to generate better
doxygen compatible docs.  Ive already taken a look at the perl
scripts. I will build the search engine as well...

	The search engine is really nice.  It digs up really relevant
documents.  Even the kitware guys dont have such a cool search
feature.  To cite an example I searched for the words "legend" on my
local copy and bang it returned vtkScalarbarActor with a 100 for the
hit score!

	So thanks to Sebastien and your vtk2doxygen perl scripts, we
now have amazing documentation for vtk! :)
