setup.exe ignores unrecognized command-line arguments silently

Problem: setup.exe ignores unrecognized command-line arguments silently.
For example: the command line "setup.exe -P p7zip curl" installs p7zip
but not curl.
Suggestion: Make it print a warning when it encounters an unrecognized
command-line argument. So: "setup.exe -P p7zip curl" should print a
warning: "warning: ignoring unrecognized command-line argument: curl"
Thanks,
Bart
