You want something like this in gnulib?

#define ARGP_PROGRAM_DATA (command, authors) \
void argp_program_version (FILE *stream, struct argp_state *state) \
{ \
 version_etc (stream, command, PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, authors, \
                   (char *) NULL); \
} \
void (*argp_program_version_hook) (FILE *stream, struct argp_state *state) = \
      argp_program_version; \
const char *argp_program_bug_address = "<" PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ">"; \

So the user program does:
#define AUTHORS "Foo", "Bar"
ARGP_PROGRAM_DATA ("myprogram", AUTHORS)

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
