[osg-users] Argument parsing and help statements in osgviewer

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Eric,

You are correct, the command line options usage supported by
osgViewer::Viewer should be setup inside Viewer.cpp, rather
than the calling apps.  This shouldn't be a significant changes - just
filling out of the Viewer::getUsage(osg::ApplicationUsage& usage)
const method that already exists.

Robert.
