It's already included in the info for "lilypond -dhelp".  I already 
think the info for "lilypond --help" is too detailed; IMO, the generic 
info for --help should not occupy more than 80x25.


Devel:
1.  The current output for --help is inconsistent; some lines have 
forced page breaks (such as -b), while other lines exceed 80 chars 
(such as -d and -s).  Could I make this consistent, and if so, which 
way (ie standardize on 80 chars, or not limit linewidth at all and 
leave it up to user's terminals)?

2.  Could we have point-and-click= ##f  by default?  If somebody wants 
it, it's easy to find the place in the manual and turn it on, but if a 
user doesn't know about PnC, they probably won't realize why their 
files are huge.
