Summary: optparse store_true uses 1 and 0

Initial Comment:
When using store_true and store_false actions, the
optparse module sets the values to 1 and 0, rather than
True and False.

Problems with optparse.py should be addressed via Optik's
project page, CVS archive, etc.  I've fixed Optik to use
True/False when available; that fix made it into Optik1.4.1.
 I'll be checking in a revised optparse.py based on Optik
1.4.1 real soon now (as soon as it passes its test suite).
