Doug Barton 2167bc17ca Standardize WWW: tags a bit more:
1. Remove white space from the beginning of lines
2. Make the canonical WWW the last line of the file
3. Remove lines to the effect of, "More information can be found at..."
   that's the stated purpose of the WWW: tags in the first place.
4. Change secondary WWW: lines to use other text to avoid confusion

While I'm here, remove some more useless Author: lines, and some
prepended white space to other lines.

This module is a wrapper around Getopt::Long that extends the value of
the original Getopt::Long module to:
1) add a simple graphical user interface option screen if no arguments
are passed to the program.
2) provide an auto-help mechanism such that -h and --help are handled
automatically.
It's designed to make the creation of graphical shells trivial without the
programmer having to think about it much as well as providing automatic
good-looking usage output without the programmer needing to write usage()
functions.
This also can turn normal command line programs into web CGI scripts as
well (automatically). If the Getopt::GUI::Long program is installed as a
CGI script then it will automatically prompt the user for the same
variables.
