We should use descriptive short and long options to the program, which are not dependent on position of the argument in the command line.
Proposed format for the command line (from Ariel): > --update (or -u) --date 20131007 --configfile somethingorother (read location of php) --dump full-history or --dump full-current or --dump articles-current etc (taking multiple --dump args)... and let the uer specify --dumpfile and some formatstring that would be expanded
Also, location of php should be read from config file and MW should be called through MWScript.
