> The tools in the bin dir do a variety of things when asked for help. Some print help with no args, others print help with -usage, some do nothing, some choke on -usage, etc. Below I've listed the tools whose Java source could be updated with a printUsage() method (or whose printUsage method could be improved), along with source code to paste into the method. In some cases, support for a -usage option will needed to be added. See other comments for each.
> Note that I've left alone those tools whose errors are merely formatting (ie, no capitalization where needed).
