It appears that the SCL command line usage message, the
text message output when -h, --help is supplied or a
mistake is made on the command line, is out of date and
help is given for more command line options than exist
in the current SCL.

This is reported for -V, --variant but it is suspect
that at least -I, --include and -l, --list fall into
this category as well.

This problem shown to exist on OpenSTA 1.4.2
installation, SCL version 1.4.2.1 running XPpro, but
will inevitably exist on other platforms and earlier
versions.

    I have an update for this message after doing some general
    investigation. -V(--variant) is indeed useless and
    non-functional
    so I've removed all mention of it - although the SCL
    compiler still
    has the capability internally. The -I(--include) was badly
    worded
    and is actually to provide an include directory not a file - so
    updated the message for that. The rest of the options do
    actually work although most don't make a great deal of sense
    within OpenSTA.

    The mentioned update has been merged into the CVS HEAD. It
    will become generally available in the OpenSTA 1.4.3 Release.

    scl.exe: 1.4.3.2
    OpenSTA: 1.4.3.15
