    The PLI code would need to be informed what that flag is
    so that it could properly traverse the argument list. If
    it assumes "-f" for one Verilog, and it works, then that
    same PLI program could crash when run by another compiler
    that uses a different prefix.

    Proposal #2 would not suffer this failing.:

    I believe this would work.
