I addressed the "passing command line" portion of your comment earlier
but neglected the "setting file-wide header arguments" portion.

RE: "setting file-wide header arguments"

it is now possible to set header arguments for subtrees of a file using
properties, for example the following will have :results silent set for
all of it's code blocks.

* silent
  :PROPERTIES:
  :results:  silent
  :END:

I agree file-wide settings would be useful, but they are not yet
implemented.
