So it sounds like people do want long options.  I'll see if I can come
up with a way to automatically support the config_tab[] entries in
config.c as command line options.  For example

        PORT_ITEM_INT("announceReceiptTimeout", 3, 2, UINT8_MAX),
        GLOB_ITEM_INT("assume_two_step", 0, 0, 1),
        PORT_ITEM_INT("boundary_clock_jbod", 0, 0, 1),

becomes

        --announceReceiptTimeout val
        --assume_two_step
        --boundary_clock_jbod

It should be possible, I would think.

Thanks,
Richard
