[snip request not to use getopt_long]

Though avoiding getopt_long is possible, it is so gross that I'd
rather write getopt_long for uC-libc than be stuck without it.  In
order for things to work (as far as I can tell), you'd need to
check for the argument (which getopt_long would handle for you),
and then need to do some major hackery with argv and argc to skip
the rest of the exclude...if it is even possible.  I guess I'll
take a look at writing a getopt_long replacement, unless someone
convinces me otherwise.
