Strangely enough, the information for catching getopt errors is in exactly the
same location as the documentation for the getopt module itself
(http://www.python.org/doc/1.5.2p2/lib/module-getopt.html). It turns out that
if you let the exception through, you'll notice that the exception raised is
getopt.error. Therefore your program has to catch getopt.error.
