Improving the "usage" message #11

Out of curiosity I installed lambdamoo via MacPorts; the binary is installed in 
/opt/local/bin/moo.

Running it gets what I expected:

bash-3.2# ./bin/moo
Usage: ./bin/moo [-e] [-l log-file] input-db-file output-db-file [port]

But this doesn't tell a first time user much of anything... an experienced user 
will know they need a database file, but installing from MacPorts doesn't give 
any of this information. Alas. (It's not MacPorts's job, anyway).

For that matter, it should accept "--help" and give voluminous information...
