Perhaps a "-noboot" option would be useful, to disable the one-time boot
-- you could then have "Boot with SimCoupe" and "Open with SimCoupe"
commands in the file association, if you wanted to.  I'll make a patch
for this, if people like the idea.

Also, on platforms that support standard output, "-help" and "-version"
would be cool, as well as warning messages for unregonised options.
