And it sounds like you got a lot out of it.  Cool.

Part of my objection was that there's an h in which.

libbb/getopt_ulflags.c has a big long documentation comment in it, and has 
long option parsing capability (see the applet_long_options stuff).  A random 
example of it being used would be util-linux/hwclock.c.

It would indeed be really nice if we could squeeze numbers out of 
bb_getopt_ulflags (perhaps with a # alternative to :), but last I checked we 
still have to parse the suckers ourselves...

Let me know when you come to a good stopping point and I'll review your patch.  
It's sounding promising.
