Yes, that's what's planned for the next version. Tentatively, the '-l'
flag will go away (replaced with positional arguments). Positional
arguments will be passed to a forked off sshg-logtail, and the regular
arguments will go to SSHGuard.

You can stick to '-l' if you haven't been having problems with it. It's
being taken out because it's had lots of bugs, from broken kqueue a
while ago to using uninitialized memory to infinite looping on systems
without a separate debug.log.
