Synopsis: su(1) prints bogus help message; inconsistent man page

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: jmallett
State-Changed-When: Sun May 26 23:18:17 PDT 2002
State-Changed-Why: 
If -c is specified after the login, it is passed to the shell, just like every
thing that occurs after the login, which is logically the first argument when
getopt(3) completes.  If it is before, it specifies the login class.

As for the --help error, I can't for the life of me find where su(1) has EVER
printed that usage message.  It seems to always have printed a traditional BSD
usage message.
