The possible issue here is that value labels in general need not be text
that qualifies as (not yet existing) variable names. Moleps knows that
his value labels are OK, but that need not be true in general.
Either way, this problem has already been addressed in the program
-dummieslab- from SSC. -ssc inst dummieslab- to get a copy. Moleps, or
anyone else interested, would have seen a pointer to that if they had
typed
. findit dummies

In case anyone have the same needs, this program seems to do what I
want:
capture program drop tabgen
program tabgen
syntax varlist
tokenize `varlist'
foreach var of local varlist{
qui levelsof `var', local(`var'_lev)
foreach val of local `var'_lev {
gen _`:label `var' `val''=`var'==`val'
}
}
end
