After further thought, I now believe most of the brackets in the
current SYNOPSIS aren't needed. Using 'man cp' as a model:

        % man cp | grep -n SYN -A 4
        8:SYNOPSIS
        9-       cp [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
        10-       cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
        11-       cp [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
        12-

Note how 'SOURCE' and others aren't in brackets.  Granted we can use
the '--help' switch and not need a 'SOURCE', but 'man cp' disregards that
as a harmless exception.

If that makes sense, attached is a new '.diff' of
'/usr/share/man/man1/pngcrush.1.gz'.
