Subject: [PATCH] Allow virtual env creation in dir with leading dash

Invoke pew with a double dash separator ("--"), to make it clear that
the virtualenv name is a positional argument. Since the virtualenv
name includes all or at least the beginning of the directory name,
trying to create a virtualenv in a directory with a leading dash in
its name will cause pew to erroneously parse the virtualenv name as an
optional argument. Adding the separator causes the virtualenv name to
be parsed correctly.

Fixes #439
