System name:		oliver
Type and version:	POWER 7.7K
Display type:		colorgda

What were you trying to do?
	run xcluster such that it automatically rotates through the
	clusters.


What went wrong?
	The man page didn't tell me how to do this.


What should have happened?
	the manpage should have told me to use the '-auto <seconds>'
	option.


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	Here's a patch, although I'm sure there are other undocumented
	options (the color rotation stuff, at the least).
