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

this test program work with python 2.4 and 2.5:

import optparse
p1=optparse.OptionParser()
p2=optparse.OptionParser()
p1.remove_option('-h')
p2.remove_option('-h')

This issue should be closed.
