  Both a configuration-time "enable_docs" boolean option and an optional
'ninja doc' target are available. Note that due to a Meson bug for now
the latter will only build, but not install the files.

You use generate_doxygen.sh only with meson?
Shouldn't we use the same in mk/rte.sdkdoc.mk?

I was kinda hoping somebody would be able to suggest an alternative
that avoids the need for generate_doxygen.sh - the issue being that
with Meson's "custom_target" you can't specify a subdirectory in
input/ouput (and the directory is generated at build time so can't have
a meson.build in it), and also you cannot use the same "output" twice.

So I can't see a way to have an additional custom_target to run the CSS
generation, hence the script.

Changing the makefile to use the script will make it a bit more
complicated, as the doxygen file will need to be generated rather than
passed by piping stout/in, so the rule will have to be split into 3:
create directory -> create file -> call doxygen. Not sure it's worth
it?

This needs to be inside a conditional if we are not building docs.
Otherwise overall build will error out if doxygen is missing - even if
unused.

Good point, forgot about that, done in v2
