Thanks alot.
However I'd like to have usage and examples separated, so the scripts can 
print usage on errors and examples only on request (at --help)

I think we just copy the behavior for usage, i.e. introduce a function like 
this

examples()
{
cat << _EXAMPLES
_EXAMPLES
}

Can you modify your script accordingly? Maybe also send a patch for 
Makefile.in?

Thanks in advance,
Kevin
