Actually SOURCE and DEST is called unnamed options in gengetopt because as you 
figured out earlier it deals with options: ie. commandline arguments starting 
with one or two dashes. All above this (the rest) are assembled and stored into 
the array 'inputs' of the args_info structure, and are refered to unnamed 
options.

I think what you really want is to be able to name some of the unnamed options 
(SOURCE & DEST) and to use those as a normal mandatory parameters. If those are 
missing prgram exits with failure. Am I right?
