That was my immediate preference.

Irrelevant.
The handling of MIB lists is significantly different.
This is treated as a single entity to be either used as,
or added to, the default list.  The option parsing doesn't
treat MIB files/directories/modules individually.

(Maybe we should think about a way to exclude entries
from these lists, but for the moment, that's the way
it works).

That could be a bit closer, and may prove relevant.
If the -I option can be used to specify which init
routines to call *and* which init routines to omit (at the
same time), then we should look at keeping in step with it.

But if (as I suspect) it's used to specify which
init routines to call *or* which to omit, then it's
less relevant - for much the same reasons as above.

Wes - you wrote this option.  How is it meant to work?
