OK, it's done. :)

It's in the branch-20010824 branch in CVS right now. The option ended up
being "-quiet", though, since it's a bit shorter, and also because other
programs in the Verse suite tend to use a single hyphen even for their
longer options. This is not very conformant to general GNU/Unix guide-
lines, but... I don't care all that much. I could transplant some option
parsing code from another project, but that would be too much like actu-
ally working on Verse. So I won't. :)

I don't think the way in which you quit QS affects the server. I could
be wrong, though, the details are no longer all that fresh in my mind.

Good question, in my experience it shouldn't. I'm running an empty
server now, just to test, and on my K6-233 it's steady at 0.0% CPU
usage. Weird.
