I thought about this.  You might wanna post this to the mailing list,
though.  For archive purposes.  =)

To answer your question, I for some reason thought popt was the more
portable, though getopt is the older.  popt has some nice features, like
automatic generation of usage and help options and some nice output.  WE
can discuss this further on the mailing list.  I'm just trying to reply to
these before I leave work.  =)
