+1. We generate the --help message at run time so it's always correct for the platform. We generate the man page from qpidd --help so it's fine too. Might want to generalize the generation mechanism (which is currently specific to man pages) for other forms of doc, e.g. qpid --help to XML, XML to whatever you like.
