If, in the command line processing function that that fork puts in, we
extend it to capture any "words": space delimited, allowing for
'"'-quoted arguments WITH spaces as necessary, possibly AFTER a "--"
(I'll need to check on the symatics for that "end of option arguments
delimiter"); and treat/test those "words" as profile names.  The
fake-autologin bit is my thinking that if I can find a way for Mudlet to
behaive as if the matching profile name had the auto-login option set
for that instance of the Mudlet application then it would achieve the
desired results.

I wasn't sure of the exact URI for github branches, that was more a sort
of guess at it; Host: gitghub; Username: Slysven; Repository: Mudlet2
(fork of Chris7!); Branch: mudletDev_versionData.  Note that this commit
is a rework of my previous patch/suggestion tailored to fit the actual
code of the Chris7 mudletDev GH branch.  I hope I've taken on board some
of the things you've said about that patch (I found a way to make the
copyright and version text blend into the background image better on the
splash-screen and still leave Thorsten's artwork "artfully" displayed
with a bit of text "frobnication", and a --quiet option to turn it all
off if the user doesn't want it... 8-) )

Finally, on GH I've drawn together a working merge of my other working
branches (I had to do it as a series of sequential merges in pull
request order to Chris's mudletDev branches as I couldn't work out how
to "octomerge"[?] ) in my mudletDev_proposedUpdates branch.
