Comment (by Roland Haas):

Another option would be at runtime to collect information only on the actually active thorns, rather than all compiled in ones. If actual runtime is not feasible then simfactory could parse the parfile for ActiveThorns.

One probably has to limit the names of the thorns that are reported on, with the default being all Einstein Toolkit thorns.
