Actually I believe this is a somewhat pervasive problem in the slides,
where latex has automatically substituted a single dash for the "--"
option prefix... I noticed this myself during the tutorial.

I assume there's a way to escape these prefixes to avoid this
problem... we probably need someone to go over the .tex files with a
good regular expression.
