I use libgetopt++, a C++ library I put together and am extending as
needed to do just.

Current capabilities:
*) distributed option declaration (ie plugins can list options too).
*) multiple co existing option sets.
*) boolean and string option type predeclared.
*) callbacks occur for non option arguments.

There is a CVS repository at sources.redhat.com/cvs/libgetopt++

Cheers,
Rob
