<p>Initializes the Devhelp library (e.g. for the internationalization).</p>

<p>Free the resources allocated by Devhelp. For example it unrefs the singleton
objects.</p>
<p>It is not mandatory to call this function, it's just to be friendlier to
memory debugging tools. This function is meant to be called at the end of
<code class="function">main()</code>. It can be called several times.</p>
