Hello René

The cryptic names and IDs are MD5 hashes. In 2006 somebody asked a 
similar question and Dimitri (who is the honorable author of Doxygen) 
answered as follows:

But watch out, at this time Doxygen 1.4.5 was the latest. Nevertheless, 
looks like this function still exist and you may examine how the MD5 
code is created.
