Aha!  But it's running doxygen i386, right?  I've been building the docs
with an x86_64 machine, and the links to most functions are different.
Installing doxygen:i386 seems to fix it.

Assuming the security issue is just that people could inject arbitrary code
into the Doxyfile, is it possible to upload that file somewhere, then
link to it (and mention the architecture thing) from e.g. the README?

To be clear - it's definitely the right move to run a version of doxygen
that generates links that are compatible with older releases,
but it would have saved me some time if that was written somewhere :)
