no plans yet. it's a good idea, but duplicating manpage in the sourcecode
is maybe not so good idea.

the current -xxx help options exists, because:
- they show something runtime/compiletime generated list
  (available codecs, filters etc)
- they show help from some "third party" library, like -pphelp

I can try to help, but what is the question/problem?

impossible. release will be out tomorrow, if all goes ok.
but we plan at least one maintainenca release, maybe  0.91 or 0.90a,
with docs/translations updates, and 0.90 bug hotfixes (if any found).
