Sebastian, vertainly, there is much of room for improvment, but this PR to me
is close to qualify as "clueless" ranting.

I am considering this PR to be not helpful, I am seriously considering to close
it as "Invalid" and/or "SPAM".

Some comments:

> Grouping by directory or file name prefix is not that different.
Wrong, it is substantially different.

Wrong, you don't seem to understand.

Correct, it is impossible to add multiple programs to one Makefile.am, but the
cause is not AM_CPPFLAGS, the cause is make-exe in "*.cfg" and the MANAGERS.

Apples and oranges:
* RTEMS doc/ and the doxygen comments serve different purposes.
* texinfo is just _one_ output format of documentation.

That said, I agree insofar, as that source-code documentation should be removed
from doc/ and be replaced with doxygen generated documentation in *info* 
format (!)

Finally: IMO, the current doxygen stuff (esp. the online incarnation) is simply
plain broken and invalid.
