I added some changes the README and the CLI.
With the shiny new cli, you can: - continue to connect to a server - continue to load from a file or stdin - specify a height/width for the canvas, (which will also resize it after loading a file) - get an automagic `git describe` version - file an issue on github - get an introduction to the interface In doing this, I refactored the state initialization into a function and added an arguments_t struct that represents the state of the arguments passed in. I also made some network-related variables global - not sure if that is the best way to do this.
