Subject: [Patch] lisp/help.el (where-is): Don't overwrite `standard-output'

Hi,
I tried to use `where-is' programmatically to avoid doing the parsing
myself but failed because `where-is' resets `standard-output' to `t'.
The appended patch keeps `standard-output' unless told otherwise and
thus enabled getting the output via `with-output-to-string' and the
like.
Michael
