I attach a patch which does what you suggested. I also updated the help 
for the load command to mention the offset.

I have tested it and found no extra test failures.

If nobody ever uses a file name with space, tab, single or double quotes 
or an escape slash then custom target_load function should see no 
difference.

Similarly, as long as all the places that use generic_load pass through 
the arguments they got from load_command then they should see no 
differences either.
