Log:
Spiked download-seti with --help option ... just for being frustrated since the
latest release still does not seem to work on SPARC.

+
+This scripts may be passed a date to retrieve the source
+code of the BOINC application for SETI as released on the
+same night. When passing now argument, then it will
+download today's version. Please be aware that because of
+the American night being later than elsewhere in the world,
+explicitly passing yesterday's date may seem a good idea
+if you are an early bird.
+
+The get-orig-source target of the debian/rules file in
+the boinc-app-seti packages automatically downloads and
+uses the latest version of this script.
