crontab should support the conventional --help and --version options
(crontab --help currently outputs the help as a side effect of an
error, but it should do this without an error).

Note that it is was said in the debian-devel mailing-list (thread
"Removing the manpage requirement for GUI programs?") that commands
should support --help.
