Patch by John Bradshaw <john@johnbradshaw.org> for popt <= 1.16 which fixes some
spelling mistakes in popt man page.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675567 for further details, please.
This patch was proposed to upstream: http://rpm5.org/community/popt-devel/0263.html
Upstream already corrected some issues with http://rpm5.org/cvs/chngview?cn=16879
and solved the last ones with http://rpm5.org/cvs/chngview?cn=17375 now. Thus popt
1.17 should make this patch completely obsolete.
