  This means the list is larger than the buffer size for argv (I believe
5k). A new version of getopt won't help, you never get that far. I
solved it by writing a little sed script which accepted the names of all
the files as input and output only the non-comment lines. I put all USA
in one file, all domain, world other than usa, etc. Then I pathalias the
combined files.

  The script is a one liner, maybe even two lines, like:
	sed "
	s/#.*$//
	/^$/d
	" u.usa.* >usa.all
