Of course, BSD style should be allowed here, too:

#!wml -San -oDEuUNDEF:foo.de.html@g+x -oENuUNDEF:foo.en.html@g+x

> #!wml -oDEuUNDEF:foo.de.html@g+x#an -oENuUNDEF:foo.en.html@g+x#an

As I read my own lines: Analogously a -C option for wml an slices
could define a default chmodcmd for all following slices, which would
be also very useful inside .wmlrc's and .wmkrc's. (I thought about
that a few days ago, too, but had no good idea and postponed it,
because a 'find . -name "*.html" | xargs chmod g+x' did it well for
playing around with the XBitHack of Apache... :-)

But perhaps it would be more intuitive, if we use -# instead of -S and
-@ instead of -C, because those are the seperators in the -o
parameter... So here's that example again:

#!wml -#an -@g+x -oDEuUNDEF:foo.de.html -oENuUNDEF:foo.en.html
#!wml -oDEuUNDEF:foo.de.html@g+x#an -oENuUNDEF:foo.en.html@g+x#an
