[gnugo-devel] bug: --help text printed to stderr

[Simon D Howard]

Using gnugo version 3.4 (the version in debian/unstable), I noticed a bug 
in GNU go. Running gnugo --help, the help text is printed to stderr rather 
than stdout. The GNU coding standards say that help text should be printed 
to stdout:

Printing help text to stderr is annoying as it is not possible to pipe the 
output through a pager like 'more'. Also it is conceptually wrong from the 
start, as if you are providing the 'help' option to the program, the help 
page is its correct output - it is not an error.

I would be very grateful if you could fix this problem.
