We have two forms in use for boolean options to qpidd. The first form
is where the presence of an option implies that its value is true. E.g.

  --no-module-dir
  --no-data-dir
  --tcp-nodelay
  --require-encryption

  -t --trace
  -d --daemon
  -c --check
  -q --quit
  -h --help

The second is where the value for the boolean follows the option. E.g.

  -m --mgmt-enable yes|no
  --auth yes|no

Does anyone have a strong view on the desirability of making this more
consistent? I myself have a slight preference for --no-auth over
--auth no; I'm less bothered about the --mgmt-enable option but that
could be --no-mgmt.

The next question is whether - if we do change these - we should also
keep the original options for backward compatability?

Any thoughts or comments?
