I'm very interested in this, please let me know when you've got something I might be able to download/test...assuming you're making this for the public domain, of course. :)

What I mean is, if I specify a timeout, I don't care what the programmer thinks of my timeout value - the program should use the value I gave it. Otherwise, that flag is pretty much useless. Not to sound too righteous, but a "user specified flag" that gets ignored isn't really allowing the user to specify squat :)
