It was not clobbered, please look more closely at what I did.  You
keep your '-o' option, and the rest of us gets to have command line
compatibility with the snarfer from 1.4.  This compatibility comes at
very little cost, if you want to call it a cost at all: the user is
not forced to switched to a better usage of guile-snarf, he is merely
allowed to.

I also removed the deprecation mechanism in the stable branch because
it partly duplicates the mechanism that we have already.

Yeah, I was not being very polite by snatching the hacking of
guile-snarf away from you.  Your first reply did not sound like you
wanted to continue, tho.
