Hi pi,

I've done some reworking of bogoutil's argument processing and
documentation.  Back when there were separate spam and ham wordlists,
it made sense for bogoutil to take a directory as the argument for
options like -d, -l, -w, -p, etc.  Now that a wordlist is a file (and
can have any name you want) it makes sens for these options to accept
only a filename.

I've made a pass through the code and documentation to fix up the
inconsistencies.

Regards,

David
