The error from the past was a reason of too hasty zeroing, but after the 
earlier commit, noone really commented on the issue. The flags /should/ 
match now. Would be good to test if they still don't.

Personally I prefer 0x approach, though I don't really care that much =)

Some ornamental changes (short help summary, etc.) I think go beyond 
80th column now. I'll have to check this.

I'll check the actual changes carefully later. Thanks !
