Currently gxi uses --gnu-style-double-dash-options whereas gcx uses -cc-style-single-dash-options. Would it be possible to standardize on either one (or support both)?

There's just been some discussion on updating Gambit's gsc and gsi command line syntax as well, e.g. the help and runtime options. Since Gerbil is based on Gambit, it might be worth coordinating with @feeley to have similar options for both where it makes sense.

The gxc options mirror gsc hence the option style.
