Re: Patch to support --help

The tools zdump and zic support the GNU-standard --version option (output version information to stdout and exit successfully), but not the associated --help option (output usage and bug reporting information to stdout and exit successfully). This patch adds such support. tzselect supports neither option, so this patch adds support for both options to it.

I've never understood the reasoning of the "GNU standard" (?!) behind this. Will not '--help' without this patch show the usage as well? Is it just the successful exit that is so important here? Sascha -- http://yoyodyne.ath.cx
