In recent nightly snapshots the help plugin has been greatly enhanced to support MAN pages, too. On Linux they are usually installed anyway, for Windows you might want to download them e.g. from here: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/man

man:/usr/share/man

You can find c++ chm help files at: http://onnerby.se/~daniel/chm/
