If it want to auto-fit the *Help* buffer to its contents, in what
advice or hook should I insert a call to shrink-window-if-larger-
than-
buffer()?

(add-hook 'temp-buffer-show-hook
          (lambda nil
            (when (eq major-mode 'help-mode)
              (shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer))))

-ap
