Drush 3 & 4 compatibility

I came looking for exactly this patch.

This is basically a back-port of the patch accepted for 3.x branch in http://drupal.org/node/723488

The patch proposed here should also update the help text to reflect the new command names.
I'd also like to see some command aliases - examples in attached patch.

Sorry - this patch was not run against CVS, it's just here to formalize the ideas I'm trying to express.

Drush views (6.x-3.x-dev from Feb. 25th) seems to work fine with Drush 4, with the exception of the 'views-export' command. It consistently gives an error message, saying "Cannot open file ".

Any idea what could cause this?

Thanks, this is already fixed in the only maintained branch (3.x).
