I consider Eric Allman's "parseargs" to be a "world class" improvement over
previous command line parsing schemes. I know it was sent to comp.sources.unix.

I have made numerous modifications to parseargs in the past few weeks. If it's
not going to come out in .unix I'll post my changes to .misc myself.
