Do you want to make all the content appear in one man page? If so, you might 
like to do it with some kind of pre-processing (e.g. extract the comments 
along with the prototype, and run doxygen on the generated header).

I'm not a big fan of the doxygen man output - HTML is much more attractive and 
useful, and latex -> pdf is more impressive to put in front of your boss.
