Works well, thanks!  Just two buglets.  The "ask" and "yes" cases are
reversed (that is, it asks when you say "yes", and doesn't ask when you
say "ask").  

Also, --help doesn't tell you about the new-and-improved
--gen-suppressions syntax.

I notice that it dumps suppressions in separate files for separate
subprocesses/threads in "yes" mode, but I guess that's the expected
behavior.
