I think the help should say "Make the test runner window visible during testing"

Why add the new option here instead of just passing --show-webview in the options? If we wanted to keep the option and name aligned, when creating the option, we could do this:

optparse.make_option('--show-window', '--show-webview', dest='show_webview', ...)

which would make the option inside webkitpy 'show_webview', but the option '--show-window' with an alias '--show-webview'

The original plan was to use `--show-window` instead of `--show-webview` in both run-webkit-tests and WebKitTestRunner , and Simon suggested to add an alias.

I don't have a string opinion about which name to use, but having two options with identical descriptions is super confusing.

If you do this, please change the description to something like "DEPRECATED. Same as --show-window".
