My main goal was to provide some better online help by writing
documentation for each command, what it does and how it is supposed to
be used.

Recently I updated this branch from trunk to see what did change. I am
still interested in getting somewhere with this. However, it's already
sitting around for a few years as either other stuff was more important
or I just was not in the mood to write documentation (coding is much
more fun ;-)).

The goal of this branch is also described here:
