Hello!

Currently Doxygen stores all the entries that it generates onto a file
( via src/marshall.cpp ), where it sequentially writes everything
onto the disk. This is very fast while writing. However it is going to
be slow while reading back random entries ( disk spinning too much ).
Please correct if I am wrong here. I haven't explored all the options
if already provided by Doxygen to make it fast.

I have been working on an alternative store which uses SQLite3 [1].
I have a working version of the code hosted on github ( branch sqlitedb [2] ).
Please note this is my first attempt with modifications to Doxygen.

I generated documentation using sqlitedb implementation ( of qtools/ folder ),
and also generated documentation with Doxygen 1.7.4 present on the system.

This is what I found - the documentation was identical in both the cases
 with two exceptions:
 * Doxygen version string was different in both the outputs ( which is obvious )
 * "struct" is termed as "class" ( I think it is due to some recent
changes in Doxygen itself )

SQLite3 database that is generated is entry_store_s3.db

Please do share your thoughts on this implementation.

Thanks and regards,
