Past versions of cowbuilder would accept the command anywhere in the argument list due to an implementation detail (it used getopt_long). For 0.84, I added the ability to say "build" or "b" instead of "--build", like pbuilder accepts. As a result of implementing this, I removed the "--build" and others from the getopt_long list, and instead parsed the first argument manually, since getopt_long doesn't let you tell it about arguments that don't start with "-". While in theory I could scan the entire list, I don't want to do this. Please fix your script to pass "--build" (or "build"/"b") as the *first* argument.
