I'd rather have a conf option. Let's not over-complicate this. I think
this is fair:
1. If --dupe-sup is given, it will override whatever size was/is given
(if any) in the conf file, and this option (switch) will obviously be
stored in the session file.
2. If --dupe-sup was not given, the john.conf threshold will be used.
But it will be disabled as delivered, and it will include a comment
stating that you should not change it and then resume. If you do anyway,
then you are on your own.
BTW, what are we doing with an auto-detected format? I never saw that.
Are we including the auto-chosen format as a synthetic --format option
in the .rec file?
