Dear diary, on Mon, Sep 19, 2005 at 11:29:41PM CEST, I got a letter where Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> told me that...

do we really need --help in *-id? They are some kind of scripts half-internal and half for the user - their _primary_ use is from the other scripts, but they are standalone since they can be useful for the end user as well in various situations. I can roughly remember cg-Xlib inclusion in those scripts being significantly visible on the running times of the users.

Thanks, this was already taken care of by Martin Atukunda.
