[...]

For simplicity, comapibility and ease of change, I vote with +1 for adopting the solution of

byte 0: 'P' byte 1: 'Y' byte 2: version number (counting from 1) byte 3: option byte (8 bits: one for each option; bit 0: -U cmd switch) If that turns out to be insufficient in some future, do a complete redesign.

What about the CR/LF issue with some Mac Compilers (see Guido's mail for details)? Can we simply drop this?
