I'm not sure about the "-c filename". The only reason for mentioning the
"-c" option here is that splitter writes a file with the name
"template.args". Anyone who uses their own template file will probably
know what they're doing anyway. It is the specific use of the
*splitter-produced* file (that goes by the name of template.args) that
is the culprit.

But I do understand what you are saying. Does anyone else have an
opinion about this?
