Bug Description

I used to manually fix this bug in the version of python-distutils-extra we ship with the LottaNZB source, but I thought it's time to report it here.

In the DistUtilsExtra/command/build_help.py file, "help_dir" needs to be changed to "help-dir" in the line
user_options= [('help_dir', None, 'help directory in the source tree')]

If this isn't done, running the "build_help" command leads to the error

distutils.errors.DistutilsGetoptError: invalid long option name 'help_dir' (must be letters, numbers, hyphens only)
