Right, I've downloaded and compiled the zipball at said address. :)

They have a lot of improvements, but I'm still trying to get used to yet 
more changes at the command line... :P

Just a quick question, how do I go about finding what command line 
options are for a particular ROM? I remember in earlier versions (I 
think =< 0.103) that they changed a lot of the options to be specified 
in the ROM image (or it's description). Is that still the case, or have 
they gone back to more of a 'standardizing' (for lack of a better word) 
approach?
