I have a two part question with respect to blogpost. First, I'd like to
be able to get the output from the asciidoc invocation through to the
command line. Currently, I think, it's getting swallowed somewhere,

Yes.
Second, the reason that I am doing this, is that I want to add an
additional configuration file into the asciidoc invocation. Normally I
want to do this on a per-blog basis; I can't add in "-f blog.conf"
command line options to asciidoc (not blogpost!), in the way that I
used to in the past. I thought to patch blogpost to achieve this.
Currently, it's not working, and I don't know why, because I can't see
the results of the asciidoc invocation!
It would make sense to be able to pass --verbose to asciidoc if you used the
blogpost --verbose option -- I've just committed an update to do this:

Good stuff. Having to specify twice had me confused for a bit, but then
I read the docs.
Decided to do it that way for backward compatibility and because the reason for
not including asciidoc output in the first place was that it swamped everything
else.
Passing asciidoc options would also be nice --asciidoc-opts=ASCIIDOC_OPTS c.f.
a2x
Would something like this do the trick? It seems to work in my hands.
It would work most of the time, but there are corner cases:
1. Multiple arguments e.g. --asciidoc-opt "-f xxx -a yyy=zzz"
2. Quoted arguments e.g. --asciidoc-opt '-f "my conf file.conf"'
3. Arguments with values and no spaces e.g. --asciidoc-opt "-ayyy=zzz"
The parse_options() function in a2x.py deals with 1 and 2 but in my mind that's
getting to messy. The more I think about it the more I think simply adding an
--asciidoc-conf option to blogpost would be the way to go. The asciidoc
-a,--attribute option would also be handy c.f. a2x (but this necessitates
renaming the existing blogpost -a,--attributes option which is poorly named
anyway (it refers to blogpost parameters which are mapped via a blogpost- prefix
to asciidoc attributes) and is easily confused with the asciidoc attributes.
I've updated the trunk and renamed --attributes to --mandatory-parameters
(apologies for any inconvenience this backward incompatibility may cause).
