GNU Autogen

'Autogen' generates program files that contain repetitive text with varied substitutions. It simplifies the maintenance of programs with large amounts of repetitive text, which is useful if several blocks of such text must be synchronized. It includes: 

      AutoOpts- automates the handling of command line, environment
		and donfig file options, including usage text, man
		pages, and the invoking section of an info doc
      getdefs - extracts AutoGen definitions from stylized comments
	        embedded in source code
      columns - tabularizes lists for improved output appearance
      AutoXDR - NFSv4 specifies that its remote procedure calls be
                batched. AutoGen generates the code for marshalling
                and unmarshalling the arguments on both sides of the
                RPC request
      AutoFSM - produces a transition table and prototype finite
                state machine where it is possible to determine a
                state transition type (token code) without reference to
                the current state
      xml2ag -  lets AutoGen use any XML file as if it were a set of
                AutoGen definitions
