I believe it's better to describe the --help option as
"Show help output and exit" instead of referring to "this".
The reason is that one can use a script like GNU help2man to 
create a usable man page from the help output, at which point
"this" ceases to be meaningful. 

The "and exit" part is totally optional, I don't know if anyone
expects it to continue execution afterwards anyway.

A setup.exe manpage might also help people without the CYGWIN=tty
(or is it notty?). I'd be happy to put it in cygwin-doc once the CLI
options are there. 

The cygwin-doc release schedule has been much slower than setup.exe's
but if the options remain fairly constant that shouldn't be a 
problem. I just hate to make multiple releases of largish packages
just to add a little text (for our modem friends).
