Have a look at the attached os_installation.c from GNU Taler. It shows
you how to initialize libgnunetutil to customize the --help output (at
least some of it).  It also demonstrates how we could easily enable
further customizations in the future, if necessary.

For the version number, you need to call

GNUNET_GETOPT_option_version("1.0")

in your option list, to get --version to show '1.0'.
