This makes two inconveniences instead of one; having to compile ddrescue 
oneself, and having to write --no-blockfile when using a 
non-self-compiled ddrescue. All of it for the benefit of those who 
refuse to follow the wise advice offered to them in the manual, the man 
page and the --help output.

As I read somewhere, "build a system that even a fool can use, and only 
a fool will want to use it".

You are welcome.
