Forcing getopt to process a specific option first??

[Dan Rawson]

Is there any way to force getopt to process one option first??  I'd like to be able to pass in the name of a 
configuration file for my application, then have the remaining command-line parameters over-ride the configuration file 
if they are present.

For the moment, I'm restricted to 2.2 versions.

TIA . . . .
