Visual Studio: Syntax highlighting for Doxygen-style C++ comments

I want enchanted syntax coloring in comments for C++ language in Visual Studio 2010. For example, I have the following code:

/*!
      \sa testMeToo()
      \param a the first argument.
      \param s the second argument.
*/
int testMe(int a,const char *s);

In Visual Studio all \param, \sa and other Doxygen commands are not highlighted. Is it possible to add custom highlighting to Visual Studio?

As for me ideal syntax highlighting for such C++ comments is in Anjuta (GNU/Linux C++ IDE).

Thanks.

UPDATE

I wrote EnhancedCommentsCpp addon for Visual Studio 2010/2012 that highlights Doxygen commands:

This is how it looks like: enter image description here

You can use Visual Studio Extensibility to add custom syntax highlighting. You'll have to check MSDN and the Visual Studio Extensibility SDK to find out how though.
