I would print the help strings in two conditions:
1. -help
2. (nothing)

...so that if you don't echo anything to vdec (no params), you get the help text.
Otherwise, you would have to know that "-help" is a parameter that gives you help
text in the first place.

As for this commit "as is", it works as intended and it is useful to retrieve
the help text; you can either send a followup commit that extends the help to
the corner case that I've explained, or send a v6 adding that to this same commit.

I would prefer to see a v6 -- BUT -- since this series was sent a long time ago,
you will get my R-b and I will leave the final choice to Hans.
