} [The patch] also adds the `-c'. Any other missing options anywhere?

Depends on the version of rpm.  `-c' may not be valid in the 2.x versions
of rpm; there are some more that are valid in 3.x.  I don't think we have
a coherent scheme for dealing with revisions of the same command, do we?
Mostly we just complete for the newest one we know about.

I may take a look at _rpm later if no one else gets there first.  But it
may be tomorrow, so if someone else has time, don't wait for me.

We could try to parse the output of "rpm --help"; but it's heirarchical,
representing the modes selected by one of -q -e -U -b -t, so we'd still
need to assist it a bit.  I probably *won't* attempt that.
