From the gnu getopt(3) man page (mysteriously missing in cygwin):

       #include <unistd.h>

       int getopt(int argc, char * const argv[],
                  const char *optstring);

       extern char *optarg;
       extern int optind, opterr, optopt;

If one does this with the latest cygwin, ugly linker messages result.
