Oi. I understand how your basic getopt works, but it seems once you
try to make a package that does more, no one can agree how to get it
right. I've heard of autogen/autoopts, argp and popt so far. I wish
people could agree on a universal standard.

Also, from glancing at the source, there doesn't seem to be any Guile
interface yet.
