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?
