Hi, list :)

I don't like formatting of the help message. I propose to reformat it this 
way:
------------------------------------------------------------------
$ LANG=C ./src/slapt-src 
slapt-src - A SlackBuild utility

Usage: slapt-src --update|--list|--clean
       slapt-src [option(s)] [action] [slackbuild(s)]

Actions:
 -u, --update       update local cache of remote slackbuilds
 -l, --list         list available slackbuilds
 -e, --clean        clean build directory
 -i, --install      fetch, build, and install the specified slackbuild(s)
 -b, --build        fetch and build the specified slackbuild(s)
 -f, --fetch        only fetch the specified slackbuild(s)
 -s, --search       search available slackbuilds
 -w, --show         show specified slackbuilds
 -h, --help         display this help
 -v, --version      print version and license info

Options:
 -y, --yes          do not prompt
 -c, --config       use the specified configuration file
 -n, --no-dep       do not look for dependencies
 -p, --postprocess  run specified command on generated package
------------------------------------------------------------------
Properly displayed monospace version: http://paste.org.ru/?xy410p
Suggestions?
