Out of order command line parameters are silently ignored #6

I've been bitten by this a couple of times now, and got annoyed enough to open a bug.

Basically, this will work:

irtt client -d 5s localhost

whereas this will appear to work but will silently ignore the parameter and keep running for an hour:

irtt client localhost -d 5s

Ideally, the order of parameters shouldn't matter. But if the switches are required to be at the beginning, at least an error should be raised if they are not...

At least it prints the usage. I moved up the earlier task to look for something GNU compatible when I get a chance. I know that might break current usage but it annoys me too, at this point the executable is almost 3 megs minimized anyway and maybe I can find something small enough...

Yeah, much better; thanks :)
