No. What I suggest is an utility that will process all relevant files and produces an reference book for all libraries so that I can take my book and look up what I need to know instead of browsing all DEF files.

That is if the "documenter" is also the writer, but when I take somebody's code and want to add comments then preferably the DEF file should not be changed.
