cannot parse for more than one -O/-o options; cannot use -i option

This is a forwarded bug report from Debian, see 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533416 and if possible 
include 533416-forwarded@bugs.debian.org in any correspondence.

Problem description:
parallel-scp and parallel-ssh are not able to accept
1./ more than one -O options and translate them to -o options of the 
corresponding applications.
2./ -i (identity) option.

A patch (for parallel-scp) is attached, which solves the issue, though not all 
possible combination of the optional arguments are implemented and/or tested. A 
similar workaround is available for the parallel-ssh. Maybe, the argument 
parsing of the parallel-scp/ssh needs some reconsiderations...

Introducing the use of ':' in the folder description can assign file transfer 
direction. Of course from remote->local direction the source files shall have 
different names to avoid overwriting them.

As a wish this could be avoided by the use of hostname folders for the local 
target...

That patch no longer applies. Could you come up with an updated one?

I'm not the author of the patch and I don't speak python. Sorry!

• I checked if double -O option is accepted. This seems to work, but I can't check if they are effective.
• the option -i is definitely not present.

I may ask the original author of the patches, but I'm not sure if I get an answer 12 years after submitting a patch.
