linked in externally. This saves a lot of memory.
<dt>Availability:<dd> For some projects that are documented with doxygen,

+<dt>Copyright issues:<dd>If the external
+ package and its documentation are copyright someone else, it may be
+ better - or even necessary - to reference it rather than include a
+ copy of it with your project's documentation. When the author forbids

+ with some license condition as a precondition of redistribution, and
+ you do now want to be bound by those conditions, referring to their
+ copy of their documentation is preferable to including a copy.

If any of the above apply, you can use doxygen's tag file mechanism.
