Hey Dan,
I was not aware of that, but I did suspect some tool was used
to build the win32lib documentation.
I'm currently e-mailing with Travis Beaty about such a tool
as he is planning something and thought it would be possible
to include in my IDE. I myself think that the concept can be
taken much further, like generating HTMLhelp files from included
comments.
I'll take a look at your tool and I'm sure Travis will also

I like the doc-generators so far, but I want more from them.
For example I want to have the possibility to generate (HTML)
helpfiles from included comments and also the possibility to
dump documentation directly to a printer.
