We should use/develop something similar to mc's help.
They're generating context-sensitive help screens from the manpage somehow.

Maybe we could add tricky comments/own macros to the manpage for each
-xxx help sections, and use a compile-time script to extract that paragraph
formatted and compile into the code. It's a big work, but it solves the
problem for all langauages, and still one file to update/translate.
