Did you have a look at the license and would it be ok for you if I
would include this in PUPA?  I'm asking because I don't know the GNU
policies about including code from other projects (Please notice this
code is not GPL'ed).

Another option would be that I write a simple parser myself.  I have
noticed popt has many features we won't use (I think it even has more
features than argp).  It would be no problem for me to write a simple
parser, it shouldn't be too much work.  I guess perhaps even less work
than adapting popt to how I want it to work.

What do you think?

Thanks,
