This patch adds support for unix-style arguments, eg '--verbose'. Currently only '-v' or '-verbose' styles are supported.
This patch adds a --help (-h, -help) command to display the program name, version, website, and a list of supported arguments.
Running the program with an unrecognized command will now result in an error message stating such, with a suggestion to try '--help' to get started.
