Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] Added the function parse_options to replace getopt

This will make makepkg work properly on systems like Mac OS X, where the default installed getopt does not handle long options.

The new parse_options function tries to behave like the original getopt command as much as possible.

Just letting the submitter know that this patch is being looked at. I have a getopt branch on my git repo where this will receive more testing before it gets pulled in. From my current testing, it looks good and we seem to have lost no functionality. Allan
