Quick follow-up release, fixes an issue when _arguments() were not parsed correctly.

0.5.2

Written for surl by Savvas Radevic on 2009-07-23

This release includes a new wrapper file, surl.py, for the bin/surl script. Also has the correct order of long arguments (--quiet was in the wrong place). Finally, a note for packagers, the shebang is now "/usr/bin/python". That's it!

Nathan Smith, the author of the project http://sourceforge.net/projects/surl had already made a similar python application. I emailed him to allow me to use the name and got the green light!

Quoting:
"Go right ahead, I am sure that your version will be quite fruitful, I might deregister mine, since it was never much more than a toy.

Good choice on Python. :-)"
