Bug Description

I have a need to run dvips with both the arguments "-tletter -Pdownload35". Rubber appears to have support for args when using the `-o` and `-m`, however, close inspection of the source reveals that such options appear to be ignored.

The attached patch allows the passing of options to the dvips module when executed as:

    rubber -odvips:"-tletter -Pdownload35" -o ps2pdf paper.tex

While this patch produces the behavior that I desire, I am not familiar enough with rubber to ensure I didn't break anything in the process.

This is not what do_options is for. It is intended to be invoked from a rubber directive like
% rubber: dvips.options -tletter -Pdownload35
in your paper.tex.

The -o dvips:quux indeed does nothing, and doesn't complain if passed options, which is a bug.

Thanks for looking at this. Just to give you an update it would seem I figured out the `rubber directive` syntax which suited my needs a year ago. As I am no longer in academia I have little need for LaTeX and consequently rubber.

The original feature request was already solved (it's dvips.options for the record), now Rubber will also report invalid directives in a more useful way.

Thus closing this old bug, finally!
