Project Summary

popt is a command line option parsing library. While it is similiar
to getopt, it contains a number of enhancements, including:

1) popt is fully reentrant
2) popt can parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays while getopt(3) makes this quite difficult
3) popt allows users to alias command line arguments
4) popt provides convience functions for parsing strings into argv[] style arrays
