This is really good, and works nicely on Fedora 13 at least. :)

Two things to mention:

  1) The text "Virsh Itself" in the output.  The "itself" should have
      a lower case "i".  It just looks weird otherwise, even in context
      with the other commands. ;)

      Virsh Itself (help keyword 'virsh'):
          cd                             change the current directory
          echo                           echo arguments
          exit                           quit this interactive terminal
          help                           print help
          pwd                            print the current directory
          quit                           quit this interactive terminal

  2) The sections themselves need to be ordered logically.  The
      easy thought is "alphabetically", as everyone is familiar with
      that order sequence.  Suitable for new users.  If there's a better
      ordering though, we could use that.  The ordering in this v1 of
      the patch at the moment doesn't look logically ordered?

         Domain Management (help keyword 'domain'):
         Domain Monitoring (help keyword 'monitor'):
         Storage Pool (help keyword 'pool'):
         Storage Volume (help keyword 'volume'):
         Networking (help keyword 'network'):
         Node Device (help keyword 'nodedev'):
         Interface (help keyword 'interface'):
         Network Filter (help keyword 'filter'):
         Secret (help keyword 'secret'):
         Snapshot (help keyword 'snapshot'):
         Host and Hypervisor (help keyword 'host'):
         Virsh Itself (help keyword 'virsh'):
