1) This code is not versioned. I'd prefer to use code
   registered somewhere as a separate project, e.g. luaforge.
   I'd like to package getopt for pkgsrc (www.pkgsrc.org)
2) `--' is not processed correctly, processing the args should be stopped
    at `--'.
3) `-' (meaning stdin) is not processed correctly, the same as 2)
4) `--long-opt value' is not handled correctly
5) `-ab' where neither -a not -b accept value is not handled correctly
etc.

This code doesn't do what I need and is not compatible with SUS/POSIX.
