Hi everyone,

I have made a minor change to the "verify-agent-conf" util to make it more
user-friendly.  The changes are compatible with v2.5.1 and v2.6beta.

The changes are:

1.  Added a help message to the util
2.  Support for CLI options "-h" (for help) and "-f" to specify an
agent.conf file
3.  Printing of a single line message stating which file is being analysed -
when the tool is run. (this helps understand that the tool has run
successfully)

If there are no errors, no output besides the one mentioned in #3 above is
produced.

You can view the changes to the specific file here
https://bitbucket.org/cmoraes/ossec/changeset/0fabbb098e90

I have pushed the change to my bitbucket repository at
https://bitbucket.org/cmoraes/ossec

In order to apply the change, patch your
src/util/verify-agent-conf.c<https://bitbucket.org/cmoraes/ossec/changeset/0fabbb098e90#chg-src/util/verify-agent-conf.c>
file
and recompile, using "Makeall all".  Then copy the util/verify-agent-conf
binary to the bin directory of your OSSEC installation.

If you try it, please let me know if you encounter any issues.

Regards,
Chris
