Task-completion reporting does not reflect -o argument

When I specify an alternative pdf target on the command line, the
argument is respected, but the console reports that it is not. See
below. This can cause serious confusion in complicated work flows, and
is presumably easy to fix.

I will mention also that the .log file is put in the default place
(not matching the pdf file location). This might or might not be seen
as an infelicity.

Thanks for your attention,
commandLine> texi2pdf --version
texi2pdf (GNU Texinfo 6.8)

commandLine> texi2pdf -o nottest.pdf test.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.22 (TeX Live
2022/dev/Debian) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
restricted \write18 enabled.
