The "Doxyfile" contains all the configuration options for a project,  
including where you should specify the location of LaTeX program and  
any support information.  To give Doxygen instructions on the fly,  
either custom-make a temporary Doxyfile and give it as a command-line  
option or stream the configuration data through standard output and  
give Doxygen the command line option to read configuration data from  
standard input.

I forgot to say this last time, but Doxygen should have the "dot"  
program around too, to create cool diagrams.  (Its path is also  
specified in the Doxyfile.)
