Description:
main.mysqld--help-notwin fails in my sandbox because I didn't build with the archive, blackhole or federated plugins.  Thus, the outpout is missing these lines:

-  --archive[=name]    Enable or disable ARCHIVE plugin. Possible values are ON,
-                      OFF, FORCE (don't start if the plugin fails to load).
-  --blackhole[=name]  Enable or disable BLACKHOLE plugin. Possible values are
-                      ON, OFF, FORCE (don't start if the plugin fails to load).
-  --federated[=name]  Enable or disable FEDERATED plugin. Possible values are
-                      ON, OFF, FORCE (don't start if the plugin fails to load).

Also, in my next-mr-mtr, in the variable table that follows the options, the first column strangely is two characters narrower than expected (including the header), leading to a huge diff. This is not the case in 6.0-codebase.

How to repeat:
Build without all of archive, blackhole, federated, then run ./mtr mysqld--help-notwin (or mysqld--help-win on Windows, haven't tried but I assume it will fail too)
