Why do we need to add -v before hostname? Is it it still needed to have host as the last option on the commandline?
There is other applications that can take them in any order (mplayer is one example i have mentioned before) Is there still multi connection support as in FreeRDP-old (one instance of xfreerdp connected to multiple servers) If not giving commands in any order should be trivial? And even if there is multi connections support it shuld work with a command like: xfreerdp -globalopt1 -globalopt2 host1:3389 -opt-for-host1 host2:3399 -opt-for-host2 This -v option dosn't make sense to me.
