        Ok - consider it disregarded ;)

        Technically it is a gray map - you can take the output of '-o pgm'
        and view it with xv/gimp/whatever and it will display as the luma
        in a big rectangle with the U and V as smaller rectangles below it.

        Actually fairly useful when looking for shifts/misalignment.

        Short is good?   Didn't feel like typing out the extra characters.
        Anyone using it will (or should) know what they're doing and the source
        has a big block of comments at the top detailing the intended use and
        a description of the data layout (P5 "raw"), etc.

        Cheers,
