Public bug reported:

In drizzled/drizzled.cc several checks are made on startup and if they
fail then drizzled will abort with an error message.

For instance if I do

  sbin/drizzled --foo

then I will get the error

Aborting:"Use --help to get a list of available options. unknown option
foo". Abort was called from drizzled/drizzled.cc:1369 in
init_variables_after_daemonizing()

This is a result of following code:

  catch (po::unknown_option &err)
  {
    unireg_abort << "Use --help to get a list of available options. " << err.what();


The error message is very confusing, lacks spaces and capitalization. It would be much better if it was worded like this:

Aborting: Unknown option foo. Use --help to get a list of available options. 
  Abort was called from drizzled/drizzled.cc:1369 in init_variables_after_daemonizing()

** Affects: drizzle
     Importance: Low
         Status: Confirmed
