 This is the popt command line option parsing library. While it is similiar
 to getopt(3), it contains a number of enhancements, including:
 ) popt is fully reentrant
 ) popt can parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays while
 	   getopt(2) makes this quite difficult
 ) popt allows users to alias command line arguments
 ) popt provides convience functions for parsting strings
 	   into argv[] style arrays
 popt is used by rpm, the Red Hat install program, and many other Red Hat
 utilities, all of which provide excellent examples of how to use popt.
 Complete documentation on popt is available in popt.ps (included in this
 tarball), which is excerpted with permission from the book "Linux
 Application Development" by Michael K. Johnson and Erik Troan (availble
 from Addison Wesley in May, 1998).
 Comments on popt should be addressed to ewt@redhat.com.
