Description

Hi there,

Attached is a patch which implements the changes discussed on commons-dev:

Essentially, HelpFormatter need not throw IOExceptions due to its use of
PrintWriter. It also updates regression tests so that they don't fail to test
the protected pad() method (which now accepts a PrintWriter rather than a Writer).

Thank you.
