Hm... That isn't too good - now "help" is just suboption for -cdda, for
example, and it's defined in cdda module. Help for cdda and some other
can be defined as suboption to -help option, but I really don't know
what to do with -vop help, for example. It will be really bad if half
options will go as "-xxx help", and half as "-help yyy". And I don't
want to break current -vop help, for example.
The only compromise I see is to make -xxx help style where possible, and
to make -yyyhelp options for other cases. That will be -pphelp,
-swshelp and -afhelp for now. Any better ideas?
