Subject: [PATCH Cogito] Make cg more robust and user friendly
Message-ID: <20051002101306.GB9219@diku.dk>

```
Accept -h in addition to --help. Error out on unknown options. Convert to
be a real bash script and slightly simplify the control flow, so we can use
the 'type' builtin command for checking if the requested Cogito command
exists in the PATH.
