OK, I had an idea just now.  If I could supply additional arguments to
-help to get more information on a flag, that would satisfy my gripe
:).

For instance, right now -help just outputs a one-line summary of all
options.  But suppose I could do

	convert -help -encoding

to get more information on the -encoding flag, basically the same text
as is present in the .html files.

What's the suggested means for contributions?  Diffs against a source
distribution?
