dynamic is easier...  in tcl it could be

while {[gets $ch line] >= 0} {
   if {[regexp $skipbadentries $line] == 0} { ;# for safety
     set helpfile [lindex $line 0]
     foreach c [lrange $line 1 end] {
       lappend categories($c) $helpfile
     }
   }
}

which might be fed by

find . -name "*-help.pd" -exec awk \
  '/KEYWORDS/ {print FILENAME substr($0,index($0,"KEYWORDS")+9)}' {} \;
