Is there any way to specify sketchbook folder as a command-line option?

This way I can isolate different versions of libraries for different projects and test conditions. Right now I'm just manually switching back and forth.

Yes, you can use the --pref option to set the sketchbook location in the sketchbook.path property, then save it using the --save-prefs option. For example, if you wanted to set your sketchbook to E:\foobar, the Windows command (use arduino_debug instead of arduino on Windows) would look like this:

./arduino_debug --pref sketchbook.path=E:\deleteme --save-prefs

that only sets the preference. It doesn't start the IDE. you would need to run the arduino command after that to start the IDE.

// Generate a manpage with: a2x -f manpage manpage.adoc

// This file uses {empty}:: in some places, to allow putting multiple
// paragraphs inside a single label list item. This is a bit ugly and
// non-semantic, but it seems this is the best way to do this. Asciidoc
// also supports putting a plus sign on a line by itself to join two
// paragraphs into a single list item. However, the indentation on the
// second paragraph makes that formatted with a fixed-size font.
// Removing the indentation completely makes the asciidoc source very
// unreadable. Also, for the --board option, there is a a paragraph,
// followed by a list, followed by another paragraph. The + approach can
// only put the latter paragraph into the inner list, not the outer
// one...
