Well, what you were looking for is not necessarily what I was looking for:
every time I run --help, I want to see a command list, not cmdline flags only
(partly because I am used to virsh).

IMO, most people interacting with ncftool are likely going to want a reminder
of the command names before they want a reminder of the command line flags, so
I think it addresses the common case.

We could also add a separate --help-commands option (anything that doesn't
require dropping to the interactive prompt). However I still prefer this patch.

Thanks,
Cole

Your previous patch took care of that beautifully: 'ncftool help' -
though I won't object to a --help-commands patch, either.
