Wouldn't people generally be using Makefiles or similar? 
ECPG_FLAGS = -t -f
would do the trick. i can't imagine many people would seriously be typing
"ecpg -t test.pgc && cc -I/usr/local/pgsql/include -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib 
-pthread -lecpg -o test test.c" and baulk at an extra -f flag!

Having to specify a couple of flags for the desired behaviour is not uncommon 
- Sybase's cpre is unbelievably verbose unless told otherwise. We just put 
the "--shut-up" flags in the Makefile. Point is, we read the manual to find 
out what the flags meant.
