Summary: optparse: parser.remove_option("-h") inconsistency

Initial Comment:
remove_option("-h") method of OptionParser has a strange 
behaviour : it can't be removed from 2 different OptionParser 
objects. 
It may be due to the fact that the help option seems to be a 
unique object. 
Even if this can be "solved" by addind add_help_option=0 to 
OptionParser constructor parameters, it seems to be an 
inconsistency wrt remove_option method
