Parameter page confuses --pass=<arg> and --passes=<arg> #248

One-Pass vs. Two-Pass

-p<arg> is equivalent to --passes=<arg>

the website has 
-p<arg> equivalent to --pass=<arg> 
which is incorrect

Additionally there could be more information about saving the 1st pass 
file/doing the 2 pass encodes with two separate commands.

Thanks.  Fixed in the next website push.  It's correct in the usage section, 
but incorrect in an example.

WRT an example two-step, two-pass encode using discrete commands, do you have 
suggested syntax that has a real-world ring to it?

I really don't know if there is any real world usage of splitting up the encode 
on the command line.  Just thought that if we were going to call out using the 
--pass command maybe there should be an example of it.  My usage is confined to 
profiling and only wanting to look at the encode time for pass 1 vs. pass 2, so 
I don't know if it would be relevant.

All right.  I'm getting started on a contributors' guide, so maybe that's a 
good place to call out a deliberate two-step encode.  Closing for now.
