[RFC] Condense help listings

Hi all,

I've attached a bundle that condenses the listing produced by 'bzr help
commands'.

The new format looks like this:
add               Add specified files or directories.
annotate          Show the origin of each line in a file.
baz-import        Import an Arch or Baz archive into a bzr repository.
                  <bzrtools>
baz-import-branch Import an Arch or Baz branch into a bzr branch. <bzrtools>

(Strikingly like Mercurial)

Changes
1. the listing doesn't include usage info, just the command
2. the command isn't prefixed, e.g. 'bzr add'
3. to keep the listing short, plugins are shown with '<plugin>', not
'(from plugin "plugin")'

The width of the command column is set to the width of the longest
command name displayed.

What do people think?

Aaron
