(hope you're still around ;)) the other day i ran lafilefixer in $HOME without an argument, trying to remember what the options were, and noticed it took forever to return. of course it turned out it was helpfully fixing all the .la files in stuff I had built in a temporary chroot. i think it would be more user-friendly to require a path or filename to operate on and display a usage message if no arguments are given. you can always get the same functionality with `lafilefixer .`. this should also fix bug #276447 as a side effect.
