Well, I've been looking around for one, and I haven't had any luck.  I 
have run across some things that are of interest though.  There is two 
javascript parsers out there (that are open source):
  * mozilla's (mozilla/js/src)
  * http://acuity.cis.ohio-state.edu:9999/Ojstools/  - a javascript 
preprocessor.

Doxygen is tied to close to the C preprocessor and would be tough to 
fit.  However, there is a project here 
(http://synopsis.sourceforge.net/) that is very modular and should work.

So the only question is to take the javascript preprocessor and make a 
module in Synopsis.  If I get some time <chuckle/> I'll look into seeing 
if this is possible.
