Dynamically generating option documentation

[Philipp Thomas]

PAPI (http://icl.cs.utk.edu/papi/index.html) has a configure option
--with-components=component1,component2 ...

There is no documentation whatsoever for the components which are meant to
be easily creatable by just creating a subir with the neccessary files and
passing the name of that subdir in the above configure option. As the
upstream maintainers do not want a static list of the existing components,
I'm trying to come up with a way to dynamically generate a list of components
(i.e. subdir names) and get that included into a call to AS_HELP_STRING.


Is there a way to do so?
