> Under certain circumstances it is usefull that HelpFormatter printing methods 
> return a string buffer which can be used in further processing instead of 
> direct printing to a PW or std.out. 
> When having a closer look at the source one can easily retrieve string 
> buffers with formatted text by changing the visibility of renderOptions() and 
> renderWrappedText()  from protected to public. This will make the "core" 
> formatting methods available without adding additional functionallity to the 
> HelpFormatter.
> Another option would be to add a set of print....() methods returning the SB 
> instead of printing its content.
