Summary: optparse: usage issues

Initial Comment:
current documentation states that 

usage = "usage: %prog [options] arg1 arg2"
parser = OptionParser(usage=usage)

would yield

usage: <yourscript> [options] arg1 arg2

however, using python 2.3.2

usage = "Usage: %prog [options] file"

yields:

usage: Usage <yourscript> [options] file"


IMO, it should be possible to replace the whole thing
(think i18n)
