 Summary of the bug:
 (ffmpeg-20160310-git-66edd86-win64-static)
 When trying to view the help for "ffplay" binary with the "-h" option,
 over 300K of text is dumped to the console window.  How am I supposed to
 find anything -- especially when Windows doesn't provide 'grep' and I'm
 not doing powershell(period).

 How to reproduce:
 {{{
 % ffplay -h
 }}}

 Please partition this (un)helpful output.  Thank you.
