I'm looking for a catalog of Unix flags.

A mapping from option -> programs (with Unix version(s)) and
			 description of flag.

Has anyone ever done this?  I'm naming a fair number of "new" flags
these days, and a single index would be helpful.  (I know I could hack
a script together to search /usr/man/*, but that wouldn't catch all
the flags (format inconsistencies, and only get a single version of
Unix.

I will summarize to USENET or via mail, depending on the number of
mail requests I receive.

Thanx, Len--
