GNU AutoGen/AutoOpts is a two-part project that serves two separate
purposes. The two parts are combined because they are inextricably
intertwined:
AutoGen is a tool designed to simplify the creation and maintenance of
programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text. It is
especially valuable in programs that have several blocks of text that
must be kept synchronized.
AutoOpts is both an example of that and a project in its own right.
It is a very powerful configuration file, environment variable and
command line option management tool consisting of a set of AutoGen
templates and a run time library that nearly eliminates the hassle
of managing, parsing and documenting program options.
The self-referential example:

New in 5.11.2 - November, 2010
Here are the 'NEWS' entries since the last release
New man page templates
Kapila Bogahapitiya has massively augmented the collection
of templates and support files. It is now possible to specify
the man page style (BSD, Solaris, etc.) and to produce polished
texinfo manuals. Thank you!!
no usage on option misuse
By default, if you mistype a command line, you will get a reduced
usage reminder that will include some information for each kind of
option. Some folks don't like that. AutoOpts now handles additional
usage treatment directives in the AUTOOPTS_USAGE environment
variable.
