Some feedback on doxy's blender.chm

* "Detailed Description" --- I've gone through and added summery
comments at the header of parts of the python api, however this text
shows up pages below include and function info, see bpy_rna.c File
Reference. if possible would be nice to show this first.

* Python scripts are indexed - would prefer they not be indexed, or
they have their own doxy files, find mixing these in to C/C++ adds
noise.

* Doxy can generate call graphs, saw these used a while ago, there
disabled for blenders docs but could be useful?

For me opening blender.chm in kchmviewer and parsing takes longer
(2-3x) then opening QtCreator and parsing, so I don't see it as being
all that useful when a dev has a well setup IDE (or can grep the
source), but could be nice if this was updated weekly or so, on a
server for people who want to look over the source without configuring
an IDE.
