I wish I've had this when I started working with PostgreSQL. This looks really good. Very useful indeed, even without the comments. What kind of changes are needed in order to get the comments in?

There was a discussion about this some time ago, Jonathan Gardner proposed
it here:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-03/msg00748.php

quite a few people found it useful but it somehow got stuck. The reason was
apparently that you'd have to tweak your comments in order to profit from
it as much as possible.

However I still think it's a nice-to-have among the online documentation
and it gives people quite new to the code the possibility to easily check
what is where defined and how... What do you think?

doxygen can also produce a pdf but I haven't succeeded in doing that so far,
pdflatex keeps bailing out. Has anybody else succeeded building this yet?
