Well, it's a first step. If help2man could read from stdin
instead of insisting to call an executable to obtain its input,
the cross-compiling problem would be solved. But that's not a real
problem because one can always use a shell script wrapper like

	#!/bin/sh
	case $1 in
	--help) gengetopt --show-help < my.ggo;;
	--detailed-help) gengetopt --show-detailed-help < my.ggo;;
	esac
