BTW, normal getopt can get long options (in a sense) by including "-"
in the list of options passed to it. The semantics are a little odd
and not quite the same as GNU getopt, but there might be an efficient
way to do it..

Also GNU getopt's permutation nonsense will probably horribly mess up
this method even tho it's fully POSIX compliant. Yay for broken GNU
extensions!
