Subject: OptionParser patch

Hi,

I wanted to submit a patch for optparse.rb to make it easier to add  
general text to the usage summary.  There were three things I wanted  
to change:

1. Fix OptionParser#separator so that it correctly handles strings  
containing newlines.
2. Introduce 'text' as and alias for the 'separator' method, since  
the latter doesn't sound appropriate for adding a paragraph of text  
at a time.
3. Add a 'bottom_text' method, which would force the text to appear  
after the option summary.

Before I submitted this, I thought I'd ask for comments, or  
additional suggestions.

Thanks,

Tom
