OK, but then so is the Usage function in optout.  "povray -h" still gives
a full usage summary, as does "povray" alone or with "-?" or "-help".
"povray -h[0-7]" doesn't give a subset, as described sketchily in the man
page and in greater detail in the usage summary.  This worked in 3.1g, and
it's easy enough to figure out whether -h[0-7] is the only option, so it
shouldn't be too hard to make it work again.

Now that I poke at it, I see that some of the Unix-specific (mostly
X-related) command-line options aren't working, either.  I'll look into
fixing that for the next beta.
