print --help to stdout instead of stderr #91

It would be nice if

cufflinks --help

would print to stdout instead of stderr. That is the standard way, at least for all GNU software. You would then be able to write

cufflinks --help | less

instead of

cufflinks --help 2>&1 | less

I just realized the --help option is not implemented at all. Anyway, it would be good to have an --help option printing the information to stdout.
