   Hello Bj”rn!

    It does ring a bell somewhere, but until recently both uses were implemented   
    in makenl_ng. It probably was quite a job, to distinguish between an option   
    and a filepath on *nix systems, where now the mainpart of the development   
    is done. You may be disappointed, but where there is no money involved, he   
    who does the work, decides.
