The PLI code would need to be informed what that flag is
so that it could properly traverse the argument list. If
it assumes "-f" for one Verilog, and it works, then that
same PLI program could crash when run by another compiler
that uses a different prefix.

Proposal #2 would not suffer this failing.:

I believe this would work.
