Hi Norbert,

I've created a small patch, which add the missing option. Should I
commit it to our repo and later submit to upstream?

Further: there is a little contradiction regarding formatting the
options between "pdftex --help" and the manual page.

pdftex(1):

       -fmt format
            Use format as the name of the format to be used, instead of
the name by which pdfTeX was called or a %& line.

"pdftex --help":

-fmt=FMTNAME            use FMTNAME instead of program name or a %& line

i.e. with or without = . Do you know which one is correct or are both
accepted?
