That being said, I also agree with David that it would be reasonable
for us to just "do what the user wants" in the -l -p case.  At least
as long as the code change is simple.  I think a warning message would
still be warranted, at least in verbose mode.

I committed the code to make -p set the listen port. I also made it an
error if you try to give more than one port, like
      ncat -l 80 443
      ncat -l -p 80 443
I don't know what to print as a warning. "You don't need the -p with
Ncat"? It makes me think of Google's "Save time by hitting the return
key instead of clicking on the search button."

Frankly, I did not think you'll do it.

Thanks!!!
