The GetOpt facility in libg++ is a nice way to treat command-line
arguments in a uniform way.  Has anybody thought about doing this:
write a program which reads GetOpt code (i.e., parses argument
strings, copies C code), and generates a file which can then be run
via a graphical user interface, such as interviews?  For example, I
can imagine an interface for the Unix tar facility which would have
buttons for the various options (toggle button for -h (follow symbolic
links), radio-button for -c/-x (create/extract), interactive file
chooser for -f (filename), etc).

If such a code processor existed (maybe an awk script?), would it be a
good reason for people to use GetOpt more regularly and more
consistantly?
