Dirk has just pointed out to me that this is exactly the problem: we want to 
display the help options when the user passes --help, but since Subsurface.exe 
is a "GUI subsystem" application, stdout is not shown anywhere. I doubt that 
stderr is any different, but I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

The simplest solution is to just take the help and version strings, place it 
in a QMessageBox and show them to the user.
