  Hmm, i think i noticed the problem. It is now a suboption and thus it has a
problem with ':' in its arg. We have to come up with some way to fix it though.
Maybe we should introduce a quoting mechanism for suboption arguments. Would
also be helpful when we need suboptions which take full URL like strings.
Opinions of other devels wanted...
