Bug Description
Cuneiform should support multiple output formats at the same time w/o the need to run the recognition engine again, e.g. save the TEXT and the HOCR output on the same time.
Currently it is possible to run cuneiform two times to do the job:
cuneiform -l ger -f hocr -o $FILE.html $FILE.tiff
cuneiform -l ger -f text -o $FILE.text $FILE.tiff

There are several problems with your patch.
1) It is not properly formatted. Next time use diff against the bzr trunk to make it easier for maintainer to incorporate it in the tree.
2) There is a logical issue. I find it unreasonable to constrain to the specific format. What I would expect is something like this:
zyv@mypride:
Cuneiform for Linux 0.6.0
Usage: cuneiform [-l languagename -f format1 [format2 ...] --dotmatrix --fax -o result_file1 [result_file2 ...]] imagefile
So that you can actually specify a number of formats you want the results to be converted to and a matching number of filenames to store them.
