Right, wic is still included in the system, and like the rest of the
system is undergoing continual development, so I'm not sure why it would
be treated differently.

In any case, to make it easier for users and to avoid a mismatch with
external documentation, over the past couple weeks I've submitted a set
of patches (which have now been merged) that puts most of the help
content into the tool itself, which is all now accessible via 'wic
help'.
