Your task

Now that engine command line arguments have been "standardised" it would be nice to unify the way of calling it from frontend. Instead of passing a random list of values, change the invocation to a proper --option VALUE in QTfrontend/game.cpp by modifying HWGame::getArguments() and hedgewars/ArgParsers.inc as needed.

Deliverable

A working patch, that applies cleanly to our source tree. This patch should be in the form of a pull from clone, hg export or unified diff format (in order of preference) implementing the functionality required.
