To be useful, both sides must add -v. If the sender uses -v but the
receiver doesn't, the receiver won't show the verification string, so
the sender can't compare it to anything (and must either abort the
transfer or accept it blindly). Maybe the receiver should show the
verification string unconditionally. Maybe the sender should
indicate (in unprotected plaintext, along with the PAKE message) whether
the receiver should show it or not.
We used to use twisted.python.usage.Options, hence we depended upon
Twisted. Now we depend upon "argparse" instead, which is in the py2.7
stdlib (and on pypi for 2.6). This package will still (eventually)
provide Twisted support, but applications which need it will already
express a dependency on twisted themselves, so by removing the
dependency here, we make life easier for applications that don't use it.
