The attached script might serve as a starting point for something. It
will list all externals under a given 'extra' directory, and optionally
print all the comments from the corresponding help file if there is one.

It could easily be adapted to output in csv format, or print the library
a given external is part of.

One caveat: it assumes that your extra directory has only one level of
nesting, so it only looks in extra/ and extra/* not extra/*/* etc.
