 -----------
 follow-up to r9905 '-debug' replaced with new '-simulate' that allows
 switching off write access

Trigon, this is great, thank you! I have just tried it and works fine and
helps in testing a lot.

Several scripts use their own mechanism for that with "-dry" or
"-test" or
something; we should revise these if they are still neccessary or may be
removed. (As far as I understand -simulate works with API query. What
happens if somebody uses the bot without API?)
