I don't know why there is this too specific option 'help-window-select'.
It seems there are many other windows that needs to be customized
to select them.  Wouldn't it be more general solution to use
display-buffer-alist, maybe with something like:

(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist '("\\*Help\\*" nil (post-display . select-window)))
