There was a thread named "Butterfly proposal: Exit upgrade function" 
starting on January 27th.

IIRC, we came to the conclusion that it would be best to make the 
behaviour selectable with the "-E"-option; with sending the 
exitprogrammer-command as default.

However, the option-thing should wait until we have an interface for 
passing options to programmers. IMHO it would be best to include the 
exitprogrammer command now and do the option later.

I have an experimental option parser here. It's basically working, but 
there are some (programming-style) issues we should discuss before I 
finish it ;-)
I will start a new thread about this option-parsing when I have a bit 
more time (should be Thursday or Friday next week).
