See patch. We keep forgetting to update all the sources of information, let's drop some and only use one location where we document stuff (mostly wiki).

Do not duplicate that much information in various different places such as the README, manpage, --help output, and the wiki. This should (partly) prevent incorrect and incomplete documentation.
