The problem here is to have an option to give (name,value) 
pairs (the options are options of the stylesheet, not options 
to the processor). I guess doing the same as was done for 
defining symbols in geant is the way to go, so -Dname=value. 
Is --define=name=value the long version?

I think "--" should be allowed anywhere (a toggle), so

 gexslt style.xslt -- --odd-file--.xml

is OK.
