+Script to dynamically discover source files for Micro-Manager device adapters.
+This script scans a DeviceAdapter directory and returns lists of source files.
+
+While this isn't the recommended approach for a meson.build file, it lets us add some
+degree of flexibility in using a single meson.build file to build multiple different
+versions of mmCoreAndDevices (which may change source over time).
+
+Usage:
+    python3 discover_sources.py <adapter_name>     # List sources for specific adapter
+
+Examples:
+    python3 discover_sources.py DemoCamera         # Show DemoCamera sources
