VBoxHeadless does not support '-p' anymore => fixed in 3.1.2

Description
starting a VM with 'VBoxHeadless --startvm "W2008srv" -p 13389' creates this output:
VirtualBox Headless Interface 3.1.0_OSE (C) 2008-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Unknown option: -p
Usage:
.............
without the '-p' parameter I am unable to connect to the machine via 'rdesktop localhost'. I get:
ERROR: connect: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt (something like 'connection denied')
I'm running OpenSuSE 11.2 >> uname -a > "Linux gateway 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-10-26 15:49:03 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
The procedure was working well with OpenSuSE 11.1.

That's absolutely expected behavior, since VirtualBox OSE has no RDP support.
There was a bug parsing -p in the binary 3.1.0 packages, which is already fixed in 3.1.2.
