You mean this part?

  This might be done by usual means (couldn't do it) or just with some
  trickery to to inject the string manually at the end of some section
  (say HELP_CANON or other), and giving the output of the command on a
  new line, so it doesn't get inside the `cat << LABEL ... LABEL'
  constructs that seem to be used to output options and help messages.

But I did send it ...

Here's the link BTW:

  <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-12/msg00022.html>

And looking at my forward to the Autoconf list:

  <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2012-12/msg00018.html>

you can see I quoted your original message in its entirety.  Am I
missing something else here?
