i've been pondering unifying common options so all tools have the same
behavior.  for example, all utils should work the same with the basic
flags:
-h --help
-V --version
-v --verbose

it's bad enough when these deviate across projects, but even within a
project is even more obnoxious.

i dont think anyone has scripts parsing these things.  i say let's
just lock them all to the mtd release and forget about it.
