-m is generally for developer utilities, or "incidental" utilities
provided by modules that are mainly intended for use as library
modules. It's also very handy for running stuff out of an uninstalled
Python (such as an svn checkout).

For actual end-user facing scripts, a proper script on the system path
is a better option.

Cheers,
Nick.
