Since the command line interface for flashrom will change for 1.0
(all-caps or no-caps for short options, exclude range syntax, etc.) we should tell users in the man page and the usage message about this. Corresponding to flashrom svn r447. Signed-off-by: Carl-Daniel Hailfinger <c-d.hailfinger.devel.2006@gmx.net> Acked-by: Uwe Hermann <uwe@hermann-uwe.de>
