Use an argument parser library

Such as http://jcommander.org/ or http://args4j.kohsuke.org/. This will remove a lot of boilerplate code and greatly ease the interaction with batch-import.

I just post this issue in case someone has time before I do it myself :)

I agree, it makes a lot of sense with all the new options. Any suggestions for param names / argument layout ? But it will break backwards compatibility or?

Feel free to go ahead after a design discussion here.

I'm afraid it will break backwards compatibility, indeed. Maybe a jump to version 2.0 would be justified in this case?
