Hi,

the only gripe I have with it: whenever some options are added, or removed, or renamed, you have to adapt the completion script. That is why I started (ages ago) to auto-generate the completion script from the documentation (of course, this means that the options have to be described consistently in the documentation, which is good in its own).

Unfortunately, I never got around to finish it, but a preliminary version is in the mailing list archives.

However, since your script works well, and I do not have a working script, you clearly won! So, unless some kind soul actually implements my proposal, I am happy with your script.

Ciao, Dscho
