I applied it without problem and tested it.

* It seems that -c is ignored, the atoi() line has been removed.

* Option -q is initialization specific, but not detected as such like the
other, although there is a specific detection later. I think that it would
be better to use the systematic approach, and to remove the specific
check.

* I would name the second boolean "initialization_option_set", as it is
describe like that in the documentation.

* I would suggest the following error messages:
"some options cannot be used in initialization (-i) mode\n" and
"some options cannot be used in benchmarking mode\n".
Although these messages are rough, I think that they are enough and avoid
running something unexpected, which is your purpose.

Find attached a patch which adds these changes to your current version.
