Another attempt to fix #23.

Due to the old directory system (deprecated in 0.2, scheduled to be removed in 1.0) expecting sys.argv[3] to be a directory, and the fact that it was never flag aware, the --quiet flag is falsely expected to be a directory.

This probably holds true for other flags.

The question is, to maintain backwards compatibility, is it worth it to keep that code in until 1.0?

It will require quite a lot of work to generate some workarounds, where as the -d flag works with other flags, so long as it is used correctly.
