Unfortunately I haven't had time this weekend to look at it (except
look at your changes); that are OK - although as you see my
preference is for a bit more descriptive text - but that is just
personal preference.

It is quite interesting that the combination of the use of help2man
and the insertion of the command string rather than hard coding 'cat'
for example means that it is not possible to do multiple line
descriptions, since help2man requires that subsequent lines in a
multiline description line up in the columns.
