Hello,

Just some news about the config ref tools, what's been done and what 
needs to be done.

I've spent some time trying to improve the autohelp.py script recently, 
and with the help of Andreas, Shaun and Doug (and of course thanks to 
the work of the previous developers), we have now something that works 
quite well.

In case you've never heard of it, this script extracts configuration 
options from a project and generates docbook tables. There's one manual 
step, config options must be categorized to generate multiple tables 
instead of one huge table. This is done in "flagmappings" files [0].

The main projects tables are generated, but some are not used yet in 
the config ref (ceilometer, heat and trove). A starting point for these 
missing refs would be to have a big page referencing all the tables (as 
is done for glance). I'll try to find some time to work on this in the 
next days, but if anyone wants to step in I'll be happy to help in any 
way I can. There's probably some work to do on the categorization of the 
options too...
