How do you see these things?  :-)

Fixed (changed <dir> to <library> - could have mde it <file>, but
figure this is clearer).  I extended the message a bit to mention
preloading.

I also cleaned up -6, so that it mentions the (obvious?) default, since
all the other options mention their default.

OK, I added an additional commit before that one.  Since popt uses an
int for flag options, I added int interactive_opt for popt, changed
interactive to be a bool, set interactive from interactive_opt and then
finally got rid of the ternary operator in the call to
ctdb_start_daemon() because we can finally just negate a bool.  :-)

New version attached...

peace & happiness,
