Hi,

As discussed in [1], outputs of --help for some commands fits into 80
columns
per line, while others do not.

Since it seems preferable to have consistent line break policy and some
people
use 80-column terminal, wouldn't it be better to make all commands in 80
columns per line?

Attached patch which does this for src/bin commands.

If this is the way to go, I'll do same things for contrib commands.
