I usually make a global object, e.g.

id globals;

that is an instance of a class that has the parameters as instance 
variables, and which has methods like getNumberOfIssues.

A fancier solution is to use the initSwarmAppOptions or
initSwarmArguments startup routines.  These routines let you call a
parse function or method according to command line arguments.
In the latter case, the idea is that you set extra ivars in a
Arguments subclass which you provide.
