If you specify neither -s nor pointsfile=, you get a vask form.

Except that it doesn't work since Radim increased MAX_COOR from 10 to
1000 (you end up with a 1007-line vask form, which won't work).

IOW, the interactive mode hasn't worked for the last two years.

The patch marks -s as "superseded"; it still works, but the intention
for future versions is that failure to specify a pointsfile= option
will cause the shift/rotation parameters to be used.
