Patch #2 is slightly more complicated. It allows a calling program (e.g. mythfrontend) to send a callback to the command line parser. This callback then gets passed what the command liner parser would have printed as a QString. This enabled mythfrontend to print its specific parameters as well as a formatted string of the generic parameters in a way that looks normal.

help3.patch has a slight change to the callback to take a MythCommandLineParser? instead of a QString. This allows the ShowUsage? functions in mythfrontend and mythwelcome to stay exactly the same. The MythCommandLineParser? now passes itself in the callback so that the calling function can do whatever it wants with the parser. This also adds mythwelcome to the patch which was the only other executable I found that has this issue.

hmmm - this raises a new issue in that it shows the generic help and not the mythfrontend specific help. I think this patch needs some additional work.
