Description:
mysql_convert_table_format --help displays this output:

--verbose

That's inaccurate. For example, there is no --Information option.
The --ENGINE option is called --type. There might be other problems.
How to repeat:
Examine --help output, compare with the argument
passed to GetOptions().
Suggested fix:
Make the --help message reflect reality. :-)
Note: The script also does not support "short"
options. Those could be added to make the script
more like other MySQL programs. Thanks.
