If only it was this simple ;)

a) options have long and short versions
b) options can be specified in one go (e.g. -abc)
c) some options can't be used together any more because they're split
   into two different areas, making argv mangling quite a bit harder.
   (e.g. 'tracker-control -rs' is now 'tracker reset -r | --hard' and
    'tracker daemon -s'). Actually this has been making me think we
   should have a way to start the daemons after a reset to make life
   easier (as it is now).

I'm sure there are other things I've not considered too...

I will admit most of the commands are quite easy, but the 
tracker-control cases are not.
