Sorry, that was wrong in my commit msg.

only '--outfile' works (because 'o' is used by the common options for
logfile output)

We could swap the meanings so that '--outfile -' means on output, and
not listing '--outfile' shows the output on stdout.

thinking callers could do the same thing, but that's somewhat
silly.

pass in an int* which is either NULL or contains 3 ints (i.e.
-1, 10, 10 if 10 is an output file)?
