Thanks Ali, that works. But other then I expected the command line
seems to be usable for macros only, not to redefine the page/css.
Probably I have to use sc.ini to include a css etc. But I'm not sure
it is worth the effort.

Another option would be to utilize the JSON output (-X). It contains
the needed info, unfortunately the header comment on top of the
module is missing.

Anyway, I have to investigate the issue further.
