It's nice to see the continuing improvements.

I noticed that you transformed the uses of fputs in wc's usage
function into uses of fprintf in your generated wc_clp.c.
That is probably ok in most cases, but in some (with a string
containing "%"), it's not -- unless you escape them.
Besides, I switched from fprintf to fputs for a reason: so that
I (and translators) don't have to worry about such escaping.
In addition, I don't mind that fputs is lighter-weight than fprintf.
