--help -- very nice, but undocumented

I tried egcs 1.1.2
egcs --version reports
egcs-2.91.66
but an older version reports:
%/usr/bin/egcs --version
egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)
(which is more useful, I think in terms of 1.0.3 or 1.1.2, not 2.90.29)
I didn't see documentation on the --help option in the info file
(I tried it and it worked). Hallelulah!! I've been using gcc for 12
years and been waiting for this.
Also
gcc -v --help
gives help on the subprograms (very useful).
Is there an easy way to get help on cpp?
I did:
%gcc -Wp,--help -E -x c /dev/null
Very nice...
