hi there!

well actually, if you specify your usage, this will overwrite the one 
that's automatically generated...

if you need also the one that's automatically generated, probably you 
should use "purpose" or "description" 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gengetopt/gengetopt.html#Basic-Usage).

Would that fit your need?  Otherwise, could you please provide me your 
scenario?

hope to hear from you soon!
cheers
