But it's certainly actively maintained. I always just write this stuff by hand, but I also mostly don't support long options. I keep meaning to find a more portable solution to that for C programs than GNU getopt_long(3). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
