The --help argument is not working in Distutils v0.8.1 . The problem is
caused by two things: FancyGetopt.generate_help() does not have a self
argument and FancyGetopt.print_help() places the file argument first, but
all the functions that call it seem to expect the header argument to be
first. A patch is attached that fixes the problem.
