[#4196] Move the docs into the source directory structure
Since it is no longer possible to find the running executable from the call stack, docs have to be kept somewhere in the source tree. Of course, at this point, we shouldn't be using RDoc::Usage at all.

+#!/usr/bin/env ruby
+
+#
+# = Synopsis
+#
+# Stand-alone certificate authority. Capable of generating certificates
+# but mostly meant for signing certificate requests from puppet clients.
+#
+# = Usage
+#
+# puppet cert [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose]
+# [-g|--generate] [-l|--list] [-s|--sign] [-r|--revoke]
+# [-p|--print] [-c|--clean] [--verify] [--digest DIGEST]
+# [--fingerprint] [host]
+#
+# = Description
+#
+# Because the puppetmasterd daemon defaults to not signing client certificate
+# requests, this script is available for signing outstanding requests. It
+# can be used to list outstanding requests and then either sign them individually
+# or sign all of them.
+#
+# = Options
+#
+# Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file
+# is also a valid long argument. For example, 'ssldir' is a valid configuration
+# parameter, so you can specify '--ssldir <directory>' as an argument.
+#
+# See the configuration file documentation at
+# http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/reference/configref.html for
+# the full list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all
+# configuration options can also be generated by running puppet cert with
+# '--genconfig'.
+#
+# all::
+# Operate on all items. Currently only makes sense with '--sign',
+# '--clean', or '--list'.
+#
+# digest::
+# Set the digest for fingerprinting (defaults to md5). Valid values depends
+# on your openssl and openssl ruby extension version, but should contain at
+# least md5, sha1, md2, sha256.
+#
+# clean::
+# Remove all files related to a host from puppet cert's storage. This is
+# useful when rebuilding hosts, since new certificate signing requests
+# will only be honored if puppet cert does not have a copy of a signed
+# certificate for that host. The certificate of the host remains valid.
+# If '--all' is specified then all host certificates, both signed and
+# unsigned, will be removed.
+#
+# debug::
+# Enable full debugging.
+#
+# generate::
+# Generate a certificate for a named client. A certificate/keypair will be
+# generated for each client named on the command line.
+#
+# help::
+# Print this help message
+#
+# list::
+# List outstanding certificate requests. If '--all' is specified,
+# signed certificates are also listed, prefixed by '+', and revoked
+# or invalid certificates are prefixed by '-' (the verification outcome
+# is printed in parenthesis).
+#
+# print::
+# Print the full-text version of a host's certificate.
+#
+# fingerprint::
+# Print the DIGEST (defaults to md5) fingerprint of a host's certificate.
+#
+# revoke::
+# Revoke the certificate of a client. The certificate can be specified
+# either by its serial number, given as a decimal number or a hexadecimal
+# number prefixed by '0x', or by its hostname. The certificate is revoked
+# by adding it to the Certificate Revocation List given by the 'cacrl'
+# config parameter. Note that the puppetmasterd needs to be restarted
+# after revoking certificates.
+#
+# sign::
+# Sign an outstanding certificate request. Unless '--all' is specified,
+# hosts must be listed after all flags.
+#
+# verbose::
+# Enable verbosity.
+#
+# version::
+# Print the puppet version number and exit.
+#
+# verify::
+# Verify the named certificate against the local CA certificate.
+#
+# = Example
+#
+# $ puppet cert -l
+# culain.madstop.com
+# $ puppet cert -s culain.madstop.com
