[Neuroimaging] Inventory of wrapped commands in nipype?

Would the documentation-generating scripts allow snippets of Python code to
list the wrapped functions/binaries for each project (or indicate that all
are wrapped, if automatic)?

I'm guessing nipype uses Sphinx; I don't know the system, but I guess this
wouldn't be too hard. Seems extremely useful to me.

If possible and not too tough, I'd be happy to open a github issue and look
at contributing it.
