ModelSEED/Model-SEED-core — Issue #107: Inconsistencies in 'usage' of functions

Some functions, for example like mdl-printmodel, expects the parameters to be passed in as switches, for example:

./mdl-printmodel -model blah

I typically run the functions with no parameters the first time to remind myself of how to use them, and I get a line like this:

./mdlprintmodel model?filename(undef)?biomassFilename(undef)

This leads me to think that I run the function (which is missing a hyphen in the usage statement) without the switch thus:

./mdl-printmodel blah

and I get an error.

To confuse things further, some functions do *not* use switches, such as my favourite, mdl-importmodel.
