In the process of moving from the deprecated optparse to the preferred argparse module, I've had to change the flag for validation scripts from -v to something else (right now -V) because argparse automatically assigns -v to generating the version string. If someone else (looking at you, Aaron) has a preference for something other than capital V as the flag, make your preference known. We could also do a multi-letter flag (e.g., -vl or -vld) to maintain the mnemonic quality of the flag.

I also just happened to notice that argparse is new in python 2.7+. Does that bother us, committing ourselves to 2.7+?
