Before, the -h help flag wrote each option in its own line as follows:
-opt1 This is my long winded help message which requires more space and makes it ugly [default option for -opt1]
-myopt2 help for myopt2 [default option for -myopt2]
These messages were extremely hard to read. This commit now breaks each
option help message as follows:
-opt1 This is my long winded help message
which requires more space and makes
it ugly [default option for -opt1]
-myopt2 help for myopt2 [default option for -myopt2]
This is done in a way to limit the help message to around 80 characters.
