Robert,
I have updated my gist to make it lazy

http://gist.github.com/446014

However, there is one issue. When typing help on the main program such 
as

    $ ruby prog help
...
    Commands are:

    foo : does foo
    baz : does baz

I was being shown the subcommands and their descriptions, since I had 
parsed all the optionparsers. Now that I only parse if a particular 
command is called, i cannot get the description of the command. (search 
XXX in source).

Is there any way of doing this ?

Regards
RK
