I am in a position to answer this one:

The FCL/RTL docs will have a fpdoc project file, as soon as the necessary
support for it has migrated to the fixes branch. I have set up and tested
these files (albeit only on linux). The fpdoc project file format is 
documented already.

That said:
If FPDocmanager has some private extensions to the fpdoc project file
format (or uses another file altogether), they will not be included.
