Summary: bad message for command line errors

Initial Comment:

While working on Bug 833637, 
I noticed this:

$ tclsh runall.tcl -singleproc
Running with standard tcltest...
Version 2.2.4
can't read "Option(-preservecore)": list must have an
even number of elements
    while executing
"return $Option($option)"
    (procedure "Configure" line 12)
    invoked from within
"Configure -preservecore"
    (procedure "tcltest::preserveCore" line 5)
    invoked from within
"tcltest::preserveCore 2"
    (file "runall.tcl" line 12)

the error is that the -singleproc option is
missing an argument.  The error message
fails to explain that.

This is a bug in [ProcessFlags].
It calls on [configure] to do the
option parsing and error throwing,
but [configure $option] is legal, so
the error of a single option with
no value is not caught.

Committing fix.
