ack. 
I just took, what the extract-docs script produces with no modifications 
whatsoever.

This would need much more intelligence in the perl script. It probably 
implies multiple runs -- first gather all comments from all files, then 
assemble lists of options for every HID and finally produce texi output for 
every HID and for the majority of options that are allowed for every HID.
I don't feel, the benefit justifies the effort. IMHO, we can get away with 
notes like the one that links PS and EPS options.

ack. 
Unfortunately I am a perl illiterate. I actually haven't written a single 
line of perl, yet. So the syntax is all egyptian to me. But I am willing to 
learn on the subject. I'll try to understand the code enough to add 
differentiation of heading and sort key. Would anyone answer a series of 
noobie questions?
