Command line changes for TM branch

In going through the documentation for various commands, I've been finding
command line options that look like trademark problems (like -xf86config).

What I've done is:

 1)	Add a command line 'alias' for the option which doesn't have
	a TM problem (-xf86<foo> -> -xorg<foo>), leaving the existing
	option in place.

 2)	Replacing the documentation so that it mentions only the new
	option name and not the old one.  This includes any usage
	messages emitted by the application itself.

This should leave existing scripts working fine while avoiding the TM 
issues in the documentation and usage messages.
