It is completely different.

The resulting 1 page should look like this:

Keywords:
* aggregation: r.reclass.area, v.neighbors
* allocation: v.net.alloc
* area: r.surf.area, v.centroids, v.dissolve
* ...
* random: r.random, v.random, v.sample
* ...
* sampling: d.where, r.random.cells, r.random, t.sample,
t.vect.observe.strds, t.vect.what.strds, v.drape, v.random, v.sample,
v.what.rast3, v.what.rast, v.what.vect
* ...

So, the script needs to scan all modules for their keywords and then
create a page which relates the keywords to module names.
Hope this clarifies the idea. At time we cannot easily look up which
modules offer a certain functionality.
