The results of all those tests are available in ./configure itself, in the 
shape of shell variables.  To generate all.dem from configure, you would 
write an all.dem.in and process that by config.status, using separate
variables defined for the purpose.

Or maybe just write a little C program that reads config.h and writes
all.dem.

For html, you can quite certainly use automake conditionals to change the
list of html files being run.
