Right. I didn't test what fpdoc stores in the new project file when 
invoked with such a commandline, and whether it could be substituted by 
--input-dir (most probably not).

Since the document sources reside in their own repository, I simply move 
around that directory on my system, for now.

Currently the following steps are required to build the project file and 
the docs:
1. make <whatever> -n > mydocs.bat
2. edit mydocs.bat to make fpdoc create an project file
3. mydocs.bat
4. edit the mydocs.xml project as required
5. fpdoc mydocs.xml

2+3 could be omitted, when fpdoc would automatically create a project.
4+5 can be repeated as often as required.
