Description

The tool chain -v/-V options need cleanup. Some tools require -query, others -help, others -v. These need to be made consistent. Additionally, one may consider (a) removing -V support from tcc, and adding this behavior to the wrapper shell, in cases where no input files are given, or at least providing a sane response to 'tcc -V' inside tcc, (b) improving the license info output from tcc -V (e.g., give pointer to licenses; perhaps not dumping entire text each time).

This ticket is closely related to ticket #5 - Command line option coordination.
