Do Doxygen config files support variables?

Question

For instance I set the source code path as c:\code\testapp\src. Is this then available as a var I can use - for instance so I can spit out a tag file in a location relative to this, not relative to the working dir of doxygen? I think I'm looking for something like how Ant defines vars for just about everything and these can be re-used; does Doxygen have special vars for any of the config values?

I'm thinking like $PROJECT-NAME or %VERSION% or whatever...

You can use environment variables in the configuration file; the syntax is the same as in a makefile, i.e. $(VAR_NAME)

For reference, here is the documentation: doxygen.nl/manual/config.html#config_format

I am not sure, but I have seen people use variables as part of their build process. For example the lemon graph library uses cmake, sets a variable for the absolute file path in cmake and the doxygen config file includes variables such as @abs_top_srcdir@. Through the build process these variables are replaced with the relevant text.

Getting the zombies out, this is not valid. It bases on CMake mechanism, which allows you to replace ANY file var. Although a useful tip, if you ask me.
