[Smartmontools-support]Some mods to proposed short/long options

[Bruce A. <ba...@gr...>]

Hi Phil,

Thanks for making the table of proposed short/long options at the end of
the README file, and for setting up the source and Makefile with a
HAVE_GETOPT_LONG
#define so that long options can be turned off trivially.  Erik, I hope
you are OK with this solution. I think it makes it trivial to build
smartmontools with only short options, if desired or needed.

I've checked a modified version of README into CVS. Here's what's
different:

** I changed all tabs to spaces, for nice display on any terminal
** I modified --offline to --offlineauto.  I am thinking about perhaps
   just --auto, but am not yet sure about this

** I would prefer the arguments to --tolerance to be strings, eg
   "permissive" and "conservative" rather than numerical.  Should
   we keep the third agument "normal" or drop it since it is the default?
   If there is no argument in favor of keeping it, Occam's Razor says to
   drop it...

** I've made some minor wording changes

I'm going to look at this a couple of times in the next day.  I would be
interested if anyone else has comments.

Bruce
