Re: setup.exe arguments missing documentation

Excerpt from ./setup-1.7.exe --help:

-l --local-package-dir                 Local package directory

I know from the faq that -l takes an argument of the package directory. This should be expressed in the --help output. Something like:

-l --local-package-dir DIR                Local package directory
or
-l --local-package-dir=DIRECTORY          Local package directory

Since I haven't seen an example of the -P options, and from the help I have no idea if it means that there should be an argument to it naming a package, or multiple packages.

-P Comma separated list of options with no spaces, like this:


-P=base,gcc-core,gvim
