Hi Max,

Please don't link to his site. As I said in an unrelated message to wine-patches last week, he used disassembly when performing his analysis: http://www.geoffchappell.com/viewer.htm?doc=notes/index.htm
I wouldn't want to endorse such an effort implicitly by linking to him: future Wine developers could be misled.
Thanks, --Juan
The list of entry point names and the version history is all I am interested in and I believe that does not require disassembly, but if you can point me at another source for that information, I will be glad to use that instead.
What's a point to make such changes in a first place? I don't see how it's useful to have automatically extracted partially filled function names from sources (if it's a purpose of these documentation headers of course). You always have sources, everything that might be useful for development is in as code or comments for not-so-obvious parts.
What is really helpful for documenting behaviour that isn't documented officially is writing test cases to show bugs or to prevent regressions.
