I object this one, since the -D flag has a different semantics e.g.
compared to the NetBSD version.

Just curious, why not just do a pass through clause? Like this:

All three of you are wrong :-)

You have to add 'D' to the getopt too, ho ho!

In anycase, I'll let Joerg make the commit.

This patch makes -D emit a warning and be ignored and documents that.

a cursory look only showed GNU supporting -D. netbsd uses it for something
different, other OS don't use it at all. I think we shouldn't commit it.
closing for now unless anybody feels we need to have it.
