The branch feature/autocomplete contains the submitted patch below.

The build process was then completed and tested to generate and include the bash autocompletion script for gengetopt itself in the build dir and the dist tarball.

This feature is ready to be merged in the develop branch.

This patch adds autocompletion (only for Bash at the moment) for the generated command line parser.

The program creates an additional file containing the autocompletion script to be sourced. Based on the configuration file, it tries to autocomplete option names as well as their potential optional or mandatory values. It respects as many attributes as possible such as options with a maximum number of occurrences, dependencies, groups and modes. Two argtypes are added: 'filename' and 'directory', being interpreted as a 'string' argtype when parsing the command line but instructing the autocompletion script to search and autocomplete file names and directories (this feature uses Bash _filedir autocompletion builtin).

It is possible to extend the autocompletion script by either overriding the generated Bash functions or passing names of custom autocompletion functions via the new 'autocompletion' attribute.
