Summary: Have getopt handle optional short args

Initial Comment:
The GNU getopt implementation allows optional args to 
short arguments - two colons mean an option takes an 
optional arg; if there is text in the current 
argv-element, it is returned in optarg, otherwise 
optarg is set to zero. The attached patch implements 
this behaviour.

I'm going to kill it - the getopt sig kinda makes it
redundant :)

If there is no further action on this patch, I recommend to
close it by May 1, 2002. We really do need documentation and
test cases, and it seems that nobody is providing these, so
the patch must be rejected.

Adding this feature sounds like a good thing. A shallow 
review of the patch reveals two major problems with it, 
though: no patches to the documentation, no patches to 
test_getopt.

Would you consider providing these missing pieces?
