Frog can't find ucto's configuration file for non-standard rules?

[proycon]

There's something wrong with the installation of the historical models still. Frog can't seem to find the tokeniser settings:

I committed a fix that should solve this.

[kosloot]

as stated in #82 this IMHO a misconception of the --language parameter.

To select a specific frog configuration, you should use the -c option.

--languages can be used to let Frog give a hint to ucto about the languages to use.
In that case, the rulesFile should be overruled. (so ignored)

[kosloot]

So @proycon do you agree to revert this fix. (and remember to document it better)

i find the readme description of '--language' misleading: most modules of frog only work for Dutch and current description suggests that it works for English and Portuguese too.

i propose use Ko's comment above explicit in the readme:
--languages is only intended for the ucto module in Frog about the languages to use.

[kosloot]

I reverted this "fix" but also added code to make usage of -c (or --config) easier.

a command like frog -c dum/frog.cfg is now working. telling frog to use an installed configuration
for the 'dum' language

[kosloot]

And I updated the usage() and man page to be more clear about the intention of --language

[kosloot]

assume this is fixed now
