The -h option is not very exciting.  It's just a help option that prints usage.

The -p option sets the mirror point.  By default, this is the global origin 
(0,0,0), as you noted in your mirror.txt writeup.  You mirror across a plane, 
which is defined by a point, a direction, and a offset distance.  Specifying 
the -x/-y/-z options is simply a shorthand for the corresponding -d direction 
vector.

If you specified a -p point that was the geometric center of the object, the 
object would effectively flip "in place" in the direction you specified 
(assuming you don't specify a -o offset).

Desired?  That's awesome.

There's a blank template you can follow in the source tree 
(mged_cmd_template.xml) that might help, or you can follow any of the existing 
examples.

Cheers!
