I don't like the idea of compiling the full help text into the binaries.
Libraries are already huge binaries, adding the help text increases the
binary size even more.
Why do you consider this an issue? It does not take more disk space in
the binaries than in separate files.
It is loaded (or at least mmapped) into memory unconditionally. Also, is
there another similar sized project which embeds full help into binary? I
have not heard of such project. This whole help API looks like yet
another NIH for libavutil.
There are tools for browsing help, like a browser, or a pdf reader. All
will be more useable and searchable than a GUI somebody hacks together to
be able to use libavutil help API just because it can.
