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.

This sounds an awful lot like Optik RFE #1055954 -- see
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=421100&aid=1055954&group_id=38019
.

Closing, assuming this is tracked in http://sourceforge.net/projects/optik
