libopt has been abandoned, there has been no activity in seven 
years.  There is an actively developed libopt which is something 
else altogether:
http://www-rocq.inria.fr/~gilbert/modulopt/libopt/libopt.html

There are no released files in the download area, if I want a 
tarball I have to download from CVS:
http://www.rx3.org/dvp/download/libopt/

There is no license, the Makefile doesn't support any compiler 
options and will need to be rewritten.  This thing is unpackageable, 
I don't know how it got into debian but it certainly won't be 
accepted into fedora.
