And make the defaut -format to be what is currently parses, ie.
GlimmerM/GlimmerHMM

Agreed.

I would normally try to help but I am so swamped with work-work at the
moment. Just a reminder that last year I added examples of the
different Glimmer outputs to the CVS repository:

./t/data/Glimmer3.predict
./t/data/Glimmer3.detail
./t/data/GlimmerHMM.out
./t/data/Glimmer2.out
./t/data/GlimmerM.out
./t/data/glimmer.out (this was the original one)

Thanks for taking this on!
