To be fair, finding the command line option that does what you want in the
docs is a bloody pain sometimes.  I *knew* that there was a option for this
and it took me over an hour to find it.  Similarly, I knew you could
continue a previous render, but it took posting to the group to find out
what the option was.

That is one of the areas of the docs that I'd like to see cleaned up.  I'm
sure there are other command line options that I don't know about and have
no clue to look for that could be really useful.
