I agree that compatibility with AS is important, but I'd rather not
*advertise* this new flag everywhere - so, accepting it as alias for
DOMAIN is ok, but my gut feeling is "it should neither show up in
the man page nor in the online help" - we do not want to encourage
people to use it.

Also, the great re-indentation of the online help might look orderly,
but makes the output actually harder to read with all the whitespace
(plus, some of the resulting lines are too long).  So I'm not happy
with that either.


Thus, unless someone else feels very strongly otherwise, I think we 
should reduce this to the single-line change that adds the alias
(watch out for line length!), but leave out the --help change.  The 
man page change should mention "this is a compatibility option, and
should not be used in new deployments" or so.
