I recall a time when the Spider.py script would bomb on invalid
arguments, and now... well, it doesn't, it just crashes or continues on,
ignoring invalid options. I was trying to figure out the one for forcing an
icon (8bpp icons on IIIc images consistantly disappear after launching the
db at least once)

$ plucker-build -f /tmp/CreateRSS -H
"http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/2001/11/15/creatingrss.html"; --zlib-compression
--bpp=4 --no-urlinfo --maxdepth=1 --foo
Traceback (most recent call last):

$ plucker-build -f /tmp/CreateRSS -H
"http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/2001/11/15/creatingrss.html"; --zlib-compression
--bpp=4 --no-urlinfo --maxdepth=1 -foo
Working for pluckerdir /home/hacker/.plucker
ZLib compression turned on

        Note the first one with --foo bombs, but -foo happily continues on.

        Any idea on the icon issue?
