Support for Doxygen Style Comments

The Met Office uses Doxygen to create API docs for our weather and climate models.

It would be good if we can use Ford since Doxygen/Fortran support is lacking and poorly maintained. If Ford could recognise Doxygen comments and somehow convert them to Ford style? Maybe it would be a good idea if the code is also displayed in the docs to be able to keep the Doxygen version in the source.

If possible a converter might be more helpful in the long run. This would also provide an easy way for people to convert from Doxygen to Ford, I personally prefer the ability to have the argument comments with the arguments themselves.
