Yegor, I tried with this reduced .ggo file (I modified it):

# Name of your program
package "hwtest" # don't use package if you're using automake
# Version of your program
version "1.2.1"   # don't use version if you're using automake

args "--conf-parser"

# Options
section	"Common options"
	sectiondesc="this options are common to all test modules"
text ""
option "cfg"	-	"Configuration file"	string typestr="filename" optional
option "cycles"	- "Number of test cycles"	int default="0" optional
text "\n"
text "Examples:\n\n"

text "hwtest --cycles=1 --size=4096 --net --verbose\n\n"
text "execute network test with 4096 byte big test file in verbose mode\n"
text "\n"

text "hwtest --cycles=1 --mpci\n"
text "execute MiniPCI test\n"
text "\n"

and the first line of help is formatted correctly by help2man, since it 
contains a double \n (while the second one is not, since it contains 
only one \n):

EXAMPLES
        hwtest --cycles=1 --size=4096 --net --verbose

        execute network test with 4096 byte big test file in verbose mode

        hwtest --cycles=1 --mpci execute MiniPCI test

so it's just a matter of formatting the examples text as help2man 
expects, I guess...

or am I missing something?

cheers
	Lorenzo
