Summary: Bad optparse help wrapping with multiple paragraphs

Initial Comment:
If the help text for an option consists of multiple
paragraphs, optparse wraps all the paragraphs into one
big mess when --help is used.

optparse should really split the text by paragraphs and
fill each individual paragraph.
