I find it a bit unfortunate that people link are removed since mozilla
loses a lot of valuable resources and small test cases. With that being
said I have a repo with the scripts I used to run doxygen. I think mstange
might be running it somewhere.

https://github.com/bgirard/doxygen-mozilla

It will clone a tree and run doxygen on a list of modules with their own
doxygen configuration. Last time I tried a year or so ago doxygen would
hang if I ran it on the top level tree.
