You could do something like this: say you want to be able to run
emase with a --foo switch, and you want certain things to happen
only when --foo is given on the command line. Something like this
in your .emacs file would do:

(when (member "--foo" command-line-args)
  ;; do
  ;; stuff
  ;; here
  (setq command-line-args (delete "--foo") command-line-args))
