This is great!  That's exactly what I was looking for.

I snagged my versions of getopt.c and getopt1.c out of the libiberty source
tree in the binutils package:

address@hidden:~/libiberty$ grep "getopt.h" getopt*.c
getopt.c:#include "getopt.h"
getopt1.c:#include "getopt.h"

Plus, the source file calling getopt_long() needs prototypes and all those
structure definitions.

I didn't see any RCS or CVS version numbers in either file, but the
copyright dates go to '97.  If there's a standard version for including in
other projects, please let me know!

Thanks for including this link -- I had searched the autoconf archive
pretty hard before I posted, but hadn't thought about searching the
automake archive as well.

Cheers!

Matthew
