Re: Screensaver support for the Hurd console

   That said, I don't think that just reusing --help and --version is
   too confusing,

I'd prefer to see a --driver-version=DRIVER and --driver-help=DRIVER
option.  "Overloading" --help/--version in this way is confusing for
users.  --help/--version means to get help about the command you are
running, not about some plugin or driver that is going to be used.
