Damn regular, actually.

(defun clean-up-that-mofo-anyway ()
  (interactive)
  (shell-command "tla help | grep -v '^[ \t]*$'")
  (pop-to-buffer "*Shell Command Output*")
  (outline-mode)
  (hide-sublevels 1))

That's not what I actually use (mine is mousable and a little
cleaner in appearance), but it's already pretty usable.  Accident?  :-)

I'm headed in a different direction, so I haven't played with parsing
the command help messages, but I doubt it would be very hard.
