Sorry, but I have to reject this patch.

The MessageBox output takes no account of the fact that it is being 
displayed in a proportional-width font, and as a result comes out 
impressively mangled.

As the reality is that the command line options are really only for a very 
few advanced users, I don't think that providing easy access to the help is 
of sufficient urgency to justify taking the quick but ugly-hackish route.


Max.
