I am not yet entirely convinced about the "simpler" yet. Thanks for the
suggestion anyway.
Upstream goes to great lengths to make using unminified JS hard. There
is this jquery/split_jquery.pl script, that hacks jquery pieces of 1<<15
bytes. Of course the number of pieces is hard coded as 3 in various
places. Even in the best case the file ending up in generated
documentation as "jquery.js" is a compilation (concatenation) of various
libraries. So it might not count as source either. To actually ship
unminified JS, an alternative might be to replace the code that creates
jquery.js with a file copy operation and shipping the JS outside the
doxygen binary. There is a drafted patch for this variant at
http://bugs.debian.org/736432#5. In any case simple is not an attribute
of the process.
