The automation of this is your task.

I believe Scott answered your question. No the IdP does not have a
MetadataProvider of this type. 

Additionally he cited a script contained in an SP deploy which attempts
to do what you are requesting so you could then use the file based
MetadataProvider after running the script on your dir. 

Additional tools exist such as the metadata aggregator and more..
