Hi Shinya,

Good find & fix on the argc bug.

When I originally wrote the mii command 6(!) years ago, I wrote a 
verbose version that printed human readable decomposition of the flags, 
etc., and a terse one that didn't print as much stuff and thus had a 
smaller memory footprint.

It sounds like the terse version has withered and died, apparently 
people are only using the verbose version (which is very understandable, 
I do myself).

I propose that you remove what remains of the terse version as part of 
your cleanup patch.

If anybody actually needs the terse version, speak up!

Thanks,
gvb
