Okay, maybe I was confused about it working in EsCo at the time (or
else forget how I did it), but I just now did barely hack it
(hopefully not too too incorrectly, heh) to work now for sure. Feel
free to take a look as it probably needs some massaging from you.

P.S. If you want to test with EsCo, you'll have to do the following:

a). manually fix the "\\r" typo to "\r" before running "sh configure"
b). put getopt_long.o in "esco\src"
c). edit src\escoconf.cpp and src\consoleface.cpp to refer to
"mygetopt.h" instead of <getopt.h>
d). edit src\makefile to put "getopt_long.o" after the line
"esco_OBJ.* =3D "
