Ah, I just saw Dan Wierenga's response --it made me realize that -x is 
an argument to `p4` and not to `p4 client`. That explains why I did not 
see it with the `p4 help client` command. It shows up with `p4 help usage`.

Anyway, I am so used to xargs that I prefer to use it, but it is nice to 
have it in the p4 command line client when working on Windows for example.
