Additional options: optimize (1) files directly & (2) non-destructive?

[JayBrown]

Would be great to have two additional options:

(1) -f | --file <filepath> — direct path to a single (or multiple?) png/jpg/gif file(s) instead of directory path using -p

(2) -x | --non-destructive — keep the original file and write the new optimized file as <filename>-optimized.<extension> in the same working directory … alternatively: keep the original file as <filename>-original.<extension> … you'd have to be able to execute this together with e.g. -q and -l etc.

Good idea @JayBrown!
I will add this options soon.

I think better is to simply change the directory - images/ optimized/ This way we can simply delete original image upon success.

Similar to non-destructive, I was also looking for a "dryrun" flag just to see how much of a difference optimization could make before actually changing files.
I know that jpegopim has --noaction flag
