 From that thread, it looks like Jeff Law already approved the code 
changes in the patch.  Were you waiting for a documentation maintainer 
to approve the new documentation before committing it?  I can see that 
it needs copy-editing and am willing to help with that, but I'd rather 
not mix that up in the same patch with code changes I don't know how to 
test.  Or were the bundled code changes withdrawn for some reason?  I 
think it's important that the already-committed new command-line options 
be documented, so we need to separate that out if necessary and get it 
checked in.
