I agree, the default help page is not very helpful. We are much caught 
in the autoconf system, which is not really designed with usability in 
mind. :-( But I am getting irritated on the help text. One day I'll 
probably hijack the autoconf system and replace it with a help text of 
our own, which omits all irrelevant autoconf yada-yada and present our 
options in a clearer way.
