Summary: getopt too old

Initial Comment:
the version of getopt included in libmingwex.a is way
too old (doesn't support the "-" flag) can can't easily
be replaced by using a local copy of a more modern copy
(get duplicate symbol errors). Please either replace
with a modern getopt ore completely remove getopt.o
from libmingwex.a
