Sorry, I broke it in the cg-help colorization patch, and has already
sent a patch to pasky, off-list I am afraid ...

Use the PIPESTATUS aray as in the patch I sent:

@@ -59,7 +59,8 @@ colorize() {
 
 if [ "$ARGS" ]; then
 	cmd=$(echo "${ARGS[0]}" | sed 's/^cg-//')
-	( print_help $cmd | colorize ) && exit
+	print_help $cmd | colorize
+	[ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -eq 0 ] && exit
 	echo "cg-help: no help available for command \"${ARGS[0]}\""
 	echo "Call cg-help without any arguments for the list of available commands"
 	exit 1
