Hi Jonny,

See the proposed patch below, let me know what you think.  It builds on top of yours
to also mention the IRC channel, while at it, and modify the formatting to make it
a bit more readable, IMO.

Subject: [PATCH] gdb: add mailing list and IRC information to --help

A few user-vibisble changes to the --help output:

 * Remove unnecessary quotes around bug url.
 * Mention the mailing list and IRC channel as places where users can
   ask GDB-related questions.
 * Add empty lines between items in the footer, to improve readability.
 * Remove unnecessary new line at the end of output.

	* main.c (captured_main_1): Don't print new line after help.
	(print_gdb_help): add mailing list and IRC channel information
	to --help.  Add new lines between items in the footer.  Remove
	quotes around bug url.
