[Bug 387816] [NEW] cannot parse for more than one -O/-o options; cannot use -i option

[Steger Jozsef]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pssh

Problem description:
parallel-scp and parallel-ssh are not able to accept
1./ more than one -O options and translate them to -o options of the corresponding applications. 
2./ -i (identity) option.

A patch (for parallel-scp) is attached, which solves the issue, though
not all possible combination of the optional arguments are implemented
and/or tested. A similar workaround is available for the parallel-ssh.
Maybe, the argument parsing of the parallel-scp/ssh needs some
reconsiderations...

Another problem with the current version of parallel-scp is that one
cannot retrieve files from many hosts. I have a workaround, though a
single use of : in the path arguments could indicate the direction of
the transfers.

Version info:
1./
lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
Release:	9.04

2./
pssh 1.4.3-1
python 2.6.2-0ubuntu1
python-support 0.8.7ubuntu4


Bests,
 Józsi
