Minor quibble: It seems somewhat surprising that 'foo --help' and
'help foo' are different.

Bigger concern: How do we display these man pages?  In particular
keeping in mind that we need to work on win32, which has no man page
infrastructure in place (i.e., shelling out to 'man
monotone-<command name>' doesn't work).
