Comment (by hinder):

 The output depends on which thorns have been included in a particular
 configuration, so a utility compiled with this knowledge within a
 configuration seems the correct approach.  In this sense, I don't think
 this could be considered "standalone"; it would be tied to the
 configuration which was used to build it.  Why not use the Cactus
 executable, which already has the knowledge of what parameters are set,
 and the default values etc?

 With that in mind, how about adding a command line option to Cactus to
 print the values of all parameters and then exit.  It already had options
 to print the schedule tree and the list of compiled thorns.  It seems
 natural to also be able to print the values of all the parameters.  It
 will automatically satisfy the bonus point part as well.
