Thanks, that sounds great!

I could probably contribute to this - I've got some shell scripts that
whip together the disk image on another project...

If you can send me the disk image or let us know where to get it, I
could also do some testing on it...

The OS X way would probably be to have a scrollable row of icons on top
of the window, but I doubt that would be easy to squeeze in without
having to conditionalize a lot of code :(

I think it's either live with it or design e.g. a Cocoa app as the
frontend. Maybe there's some common code that could be used to get the
available options, etc? AFAIK, doxygen itself uses a subset of the Qt
libraries for some generic classes (strings, localization, whatnot). I
haven't had a look at the doxywizard code yet, but maybe there's some
code that could be shared among a Qt implementation and a custom UI
frontend? OTOH, it may not be worth the time if the Qt frontend is
functional, but just not quite as aesthetic as a native Aqua
frontend... :(
