Hi,

FOP behaviour has changed in trunk, regarding the -v option.

With 0.95 version (and earlier), version is displayed and the transformation 
starts.
With trunk post 0.95, FOP halt after the version is displayed.

The old behaviour was usefull when testing 1 fop version vs 1 other, to see 
what version was Actually used.

Now, to do the same we have to invoke FOP twice: 1 for -v information, 1 for 
PDF transfo.

Personnally, I prefer the previous behaviour (show version --if requested-- and 
continue).
