doxygen file for c plantuml to work

Hi
I have a project with c and markdown files. I would like both file types to
support plantUML. I can get one of them to work at a time, but need to
change the path to graphviz. For c files it have to be C:/Program Files
(x86)/Graphviz2.38/bin and for markdown it have to be C:/Program Files
(x86)/Graphviz2.38/lib/release/lib. So it seems they do not use same dot
entry point. One is exe and other is lib. If not correct path for c file I
do not get images of dependencies and if for markdown "Dot executable:
C:\program files (x86)\graphviz2.38\bin\dot file does not exist Cannot find
graphviz. You should try @startuml testdot @enduml"

I can confirm this problem.

I tried some debugging and the problem is that the plantuml.jar wants the
full name of the dot executable i.e. (on Windows) not just "dot" but
"dot.exe" ...

java -jar plantuml.jar -graphvizdot "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\dot" -testdot
The environment variable GRAPHVIZ_DOT has been set to C:\Program Files
(x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\dot
Dot executable is C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\dot
Error: File does not exist
Error: only sequence diagrams will be generated

java -jar plantuml.jar -graphvizdot "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\dot.exe" -testdot
The environment variable GRAPHVIZ_DOT has been set to C:\Program Files
(x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\dot.exe
Dot executable is C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\dot.exe
Dot version: dot - graphviz version 2.38.0 (20140413.2041)

The problem is that this patch:
https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen/commit/SHA:
c24cb9a74ef0af854455047f29f9925d79ac0195

doesn't handle the dot executable name on Windows the way the plantuml
requires.

I didn't completely get the statements the original bug, but the comment
gave the right pointer.

I hope I also corrected the title properly.

I've just pushed a proposed patch to github (pull request 764,
https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen/pull/764).
