TODO:
 - need to fix display of type parameters for inherited classes/class types
 - need to add an environment while generating to print correct links:
   file foo.mli:
     type u
     module type M = sig type u end
     module N : sig include M val f: u -> unit end
   Here, in html for example, f in displayed being of type Foo.u instead of Foo.M.u
 - latex: types variant polymorphes depassent de la page quand ils sont trop longs
 - utilisation nouvelles infos de Xavier: "debut de rec", etc.
 - xml generator

=====
Release > 3.11.0:
- option -g also for native code version (loading custom generators)

- fix: PR#4007 (error in merging of top dependencies of modules)
- fix: PR#3981 (-dot-colors has no effect)
- mod: name resolution in cross-referencing: {!name} if name is not
  found, then it is searched in the parent module/class, and in the parent
  of the parent, and so on until it is found.

=====
Release 3.09.1:
 - fix: remove .TP for generated man pages, use .sp instead
   (.TP caused a lot of odd margins)
 - fix: html generator now output DOCTYPE and character encoding information.
 - add: m_text_only field in Module.t_module, to separate real modules
   from text files handled as modules.
 - fix: display only text for "text modules"
 - extensible {foo } syntax
 - user can give .txt files on the command line, containing ocamldoc formatted
   text, to be able to include bigger texts out of source files
 - -o option is now used by the html generator to indicate the prefix
   of generated index files (to avoid conflict when a Index module exists
   on case-insensitive file systems).

=====
Release 3.08.4:
 - some improvements in html display
 - better error messages for misplaced variant constructors comments
 - some fixes in man page generation (escaping characters)

=====
Release 3.08.2:

   (fix of Odoc_value.parameter_list_from_arrows to handle Tpoly for methods)
 - ajout a la doc de Module_list et Index_list (utilise dans le html seulement)
 - ajout a la doc: fichier de l'option -intro utilise pour l'index en html
 - fix: create a Module_with instead of a Module_alias when we encounter
     module A : Foo in a signature
 - latex: style latex pour indenter dans les module kind et les class kind
 - latex: il manque la generation des parametres de classe
 - parse des {!modules: } et {!indexlist}
 - gestion des Module_list et Index_list
 - no need to Dynlink.add_available_units any more
 - generate html from module_kind rather than from module_type
   + same for classes and class types
 - add the kind to module parameters (the way the parameter was build in the parsetree)
 - fix: the generated ocamldoc.sty is more robust for paragraphs in
     ocamldocdescription environment
 - fix: when generating separated files in latex, generate them in
     the same directory than the main file, (the one specified by -o)
 - mod: one section per to module in latex output + improve latex output
 - mod: odoc_latex: use buffers instead of string concatenation
 - add: new ocamldoc man page, thanks to Samuel Mimram
 - fix: useless parentheses around arguments of arguments of a type constructor in
     type definitions, and aournd arguments of exceptions in exception definitions.
 - fix: blank lines in verbatim, latex, code pre, code and ele ref modes
     are now accepted
 - fix: html generator: included module names were displayed with their simple
     name rather than their fully qualified name
 - fix: use a formatter from a buffer rather Format.str_formatter in
     Odoc_mist.sting_of_module_type, to avoid too much blanks
 - new module odoc_print, will work when Format.pp_print_flush is fixed
 - odoc_html: use buffers instead of string concatenation
 - odoc_man: use buffers instead of string concatenation
 - odoc_cross.ml: use hash tables modified on the fly to resolve
    (module | module type | exception) name aliases
 - odoc_html: replace some calls to Str. by specific functions on strings
 - odoc_cross.ml: use a Map to associate a complete name to
    the known elements with this name, instead of searching each time
    through the whole list of modules -> a gain of more than 90% in speed
    for cross-referencing (Odoc_cross.associate)
 - fix: Odoc_name.cut printed a '(' instead of a '.'
 - add: new option -customdir
 - add: new option -i (to add a path to the directory where
     to look for custom generators)
 - add: add odoc_config.ml{,i}
 - add: keep_code in Odoc_info.Args interface
 - add: m_code_intf and m_code fields for modules, fit when the
   Odoc_args.keep_code option is set, and fit for all modules, not
   only toplevel ones
 - fix: bug preventing to get the code in a .mli
 - fix: missing spaces after carriage return in types (Odoc_misc.string_of_type_expr)
 - fixes: some bugs in the text parser
     ( ]} meaning end of code and something else instead of end of precode)

 - fix: display "include Foo" instead of "include module Foo" in Latex, Man, Texi
 - fix: not display comments associated to include directives
 - fix: bad display of type parameters for class and class types
