I have yet to have time to look at this, but catching up on my email...

And the xgetularg variants in libbb.  (Ick.  I am _going_ to remove these 
gratuitous bb_ prefixes that have sprouted everywhere.  You have been 
warned...)

I've been dreading the part of rewriting getopt_ulflags() that adds number 
parsing support so the &optarg bits can feed it a pointer to an integer.  Not 
sure what a clean syntax for that would be yet.  (Leaning towards something 
like "x#\x32" for a uint32_t, but how do I specify signed?)

Making it not use getopt() seems fairly easy in comparison...

A global toggle for this?  Makes sense.  I'd want both allyesconfig and 
allnoconfig to build, though.
