It would be best if the lines don't exceed 80 chars when output. I think
libcmd tries to keep its output to that limit, but I don't remember how
well it does. We could just make it wrap lines for you or something, if
you want to say something longer.

I don't think so, but you get some space to write text before the
"Usage:" line in the last cmd_CreateSyntax arg. That's not sufficient?
