./bootstrap --help


From: Eric Blake
Subject: ./bootstrap --help
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2005 02:34:25 +0000

Inspired by GNU coding standards, and by the example of CVS tar,
I propose patching bootstrap to be a little friendlier.  I didn't know
what would make a good --version, so that is left for someone else
to provide.

        * bootstrap (--help): Provide some help.
