[Agreed]

Also, while i already sent my agreement to the new usage() to Eric
privately, Eric, please don't change an fprintf(stderr, ...) into 
a printf().  usage() output is supposed to go to stderr.  That way,
if e. g. someone redirects his stdout into a log file (or even to
/dev/null aka. NUL:), he'll still see that message.  Remember, even
Windows users now can redirect their stderr. ;-) (Assuming WinNT or
later, with the old blow-up MS-DOS versions, you're in the rain.
But they are obsolete anyway...)
