This last commit made me realize that the helper is a bad idea:

 1/ It makes the code longer in number of lines.

 2/ It makes it harder to read.

So, as discussed on IRC, I've reworked your patches to drop the helper
that pretty-print the help text, and simply used the @echo calls in the
various packages.

So essentially, I've dropped patches 3/8 and 8/8, and I've reworked
patches 4, 5, 6 and 7 to not use the helper.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
