   Actually, I've few patches I've been meaning to send, so if it can
   wait I'll start sending them now.

More than welcome, we are absolutley in no hurry for making a release.

   Generating the man pages from the --help output seems also a
   regression compared with their current content, so I guess I'll
   just ship them locally, with any further improvements.

The (old) man pages where not updated, so that is far worse than
anything and even despite that the man pages where just a copy of
--help.  If there is need to add something specific to a man page we
could do that (help2man provides such functionality), could you
reconsider working on such a patch?
