Strange, because it's been working for me until the upgrade to Lucid I did. I dunno, maybe I'm on crack or something. Or maybe it just ignored unknown options back then?

Ok, not a problem. I'm just trying to make it work and I screwed up and deleted all my templates by accident. So now I'm in re-build mode.

It's annoying since --version and --help are so *basic* and customary to use when first trying a tool. And especially when you have options which are the same for the core tool, even if plugins add new options. >> I'll file a bug/feature request when I get a chance, but it might take >> some time since I'm getting ready for vacation starting saturday.

This really is a neat script which helps whipping up test/play VMs quickly.
