You mean have --help-man / --help-html output the distributed files?
The new documentation (as distributed) is no longer single page so that 
would not map properly.

I think the same is true for the html documentation.

The documented use case for both --help-man and --help-html is 
generating the documentation for the build rather than displaying it for 
the user.

There may be undocumented valid use cases for regular users as well but 
I can't think of any.
