I do like context-dependent help, I just think putting buttons everywhere to 
access it is a bad idea. Better would be if whichever dialog/window/etc has 
focus <kbd>F1</kbd> opens the help file at the right place.

I would've still mentioned it as I think it's too cluttered adding big buttons 
for something used so rarely.

An alternative that wouldn't clutter the dialogs so much would be to use a link 
label in another location, rather than a help button. For the Build Commands 
dialog it could replace the less than helpful existing label too. It might look 
kind of ugly and scattered though, not sure without seeing it.
