I suggest that the --help message have an extra line saying what the
program does. Also, I don't think it's worth the text to bother listing
the help/version/files options in the synopsis. Suggestion:
Usage: texdoc [OPTION]... [NAME]...
texdoc tries to find appropriate TeX documentation for the specified NAME(s).
With no NAME, it can print configuration information (-f, --files);
the usual --help and --version options are also accepted.
Options:
-h, --help ... [I suggest indenting by two spaces to minimize space used]
And finally, I suggest ending like this (minimizing line breaks):
Environment: PAGER, BROWSER, PDFVIEWER, PSVIEWER, DVIVIEWER.
Files: <texmf>/texdoc/texdoc.cnf files; see the -f option.
texdoc home page: <http://tug.org/texdoc/>
FWIW ...
