As promised I looked it up and as far as I can see the perl module Getopt does indeed do its own parsing. See /usr/share/perl/5.14.2/Getopt/Long.pm (or the equivalent path under Windows) if anyone is interested to see how John Vromans has solved the problem of parsing commandline areguments without resorting to Unix-isms. Perl and this module are platform independent, so I presume the code might contain some useful hints for Lazarus too.
