With the script I wrote before, just put something in
scripts/build called long-file-list-to-file.py and then in lysdoc-rules.make :

$(outdir)/collated-files.tely: $(FOO)
        $(LONG_FILE_LIST_TO_FILE) "."

$(outdir)/collated-files.tely: $(COLLATED_FILES)
        $(LYS_TO_TELY) --name=$(outdir)/collated-files.tely --title="$(TITLE)" 
--author="$(AUTHOR)" --files=$(FOO)

Note that the above is pseudocode - I have no clue how make actually works.
