I don't know if it's the best solution or not, but it seems to work.  

I've been talking with Greg about adding long names for the existing
single character options.  Given the very different ways in which short
and long options are presently handled, there's a need for significant
work on option definition and handling.  I think the current code is OK
for now and the revision can wait until 0.17.

Question:  is gnugetopt() widely available?
