Hi Martin,

What upstream said about that '-t' ? I'm asking because they can start
using this for something different and it can cause unknown side
effects, break users scripts and all that.

I suggest you a environmental variable, with a proper name upstream
will never clash with it. If i recall correctly USER/-u part of the
code may help you.

Hope that helps,
Gustavo Franco
