Just because wget does it does not mean it's a good idea.
Why bloat the code (and documentation) with a unneeded option?
How much of code would a thing like this be? It would not be much.
What would this add to the documentation?
It will be more obvious to the users that they can make a
troubleshooting report and send it to the developers.
If there is a standard we should try to adhere to, then it is surely the
gnu standard. At
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Command_002dLine-Interfaces.html
I firstly spoted --version, which is not implemented by ekiga (I will do
it).
Concerning -o, it is used for output file name
(http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Option-Table.html), not for
specifying that the log must be switched on. Ekiga is not an ordinary
program, with input and output files. I would better change it to '-l'
or -v (verbose, cf.
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Option-Table.html). We
could use -v -o FILE (in addition to -v 4 2>...). This issues is still
open for me...
