`$this_program' generates a man page out of `--help' and `--version' output.

Usage: $this_program [OPTION]... EXECUTABLE

 -n, --name=STRING       use `STRING' as the description for the NAME paragraph
 -s, --section=SECTION   use `SECTION' as the section for the man page
 -i, --include=FILE      include material from `FILE'
 -I, --opt-include=FILE  include material from `FILE' if it exists
 -o, --output=FILE       send output to `FILE'
 -N, --no-info           suppress pointer to Texinfo manual
     --help              print this help, then exit
     --version           print version number, then exit

EXECUTABLE should accept `--help' and `--version' options.
