Maybe they are also somewhat supported under other platforms. They should definitely be mentioned in --help and in the Texinfo doc. Maybe it would be worthwhile to add them to cmdargs.texi. This said, I really think the --help text should be generated more dynamically to match the exact set of args accepted by the executed Emacs. Stefan
