Hi Eli,

Thanks. I’ve replaced the call to variable-pitch-mode with a hook, 
help-screen-hook, which defaults to calling variable-pitch-mode.

Ideally I think this should just be help-mode-hook though, which of 
course should not default to calling variable-pitch-mode.

Anyway, how’s the patch look to you?
