Ok, read it. I have to congratulate with you for the manual, which
looks way better than the "autobook" (and less outdated of course),
but as said, the proposed solution wouldn't satisfy my needs.

Other than that, I think you could have used AC_CHECK_PROG instead of
AC_CHECK_PROGS to look for the doxygen binary, since it already does
the -z test on the variable used to store its path, thus you wouldn't
need the AC_PROG_TRY_DOXYGEN macro.
