This is nonsense. As part of the refactoring process, I separated the
configuration mechanism (which needs to know about gEDA directories and
executes Guile files) from the actual netlist generation. All necessary
options are internally passed to the netlister via the command line.
"xorn netlist" has a different command-line interface from gnetlist
because it's not functionally equivalent; it's lacking the configuration
part. "xorn netlist" plus gnetlist2, OTOH, is, so it can have and has the
same command-line interface as gnetlist.
