Erm... technically it may then be easier to |#ifdef SOLARIS ... #else
... #endif| the whole codeblock containg the getopts string... but as
said this is something which this project tried to avoid at all cost in
the past to prevent that we end-up in the same situation as Solaris
ksh88 (which was at the end considered unmaintainable and unsalvageable
by the people at Sun who did the maintaince on it).
