LDocGen syntax

LDocGen is similar to DoxyGen, though more limited. (DoxyGen doesn't support lua.)

Syntax explained by example:

--! Description of func3 (There's no distinction between short/long description)
--! Continuation of description
void func3();

--! Supports the class construct used in CorsixTH
class "GameUI" (UI);

//! Describe func4
//!param x X coord. When negative
//!  the function will also peel a banana.
//!  This is still more info about param x.
//!param y Y coord
void func4(int x, int y);
