 On Mac OS X "snow leopard", when running bootstrap, doxygen fails to build
 with an error "This version of Mac OS X is unsupported" (as noted in
 comment:3:ticket:396).  Upgrading the version of doxygen used by bootstrap
 to 1.7.1 fixes the problem.  We should probably upgrade therefore, though
 we need to check if any config updates are needed for this, and check that
 the generated output is still good.

Comment(by olly):

 Or we could add a line to bootstrap to fix this with a sed hammer on the
 doxygen source so we don't have to play this game for every new Mac OS X
 release.  This check is in a header taken from Qt, and in the context of
 doxygen the results of this test aren't ever used (try {{{rgrep
 MAC_OS_X_VERSION doxygen-1.5.9}}} - the only uses are in
 {{{./qtools/qglobal.h}}} and the last one is the check that fails).
