Query: the getopt applet

[Mats Erik Andersson]

Hi all,

I am investigating the possibility of converting the 
getopt applet to use the getopt32 funcionality. At present
I have converted that part of option parsing which the
applet needs for its own work and decisions.  That leads
to far to a decrease by 75 bytes only. Not much!

However, I am wondering about the "alternate functionality"
that allows the flag '-boo' to replace '--boo'. Is it worth the
effort of producing an applet that ignores this feature, but
uses getopt32 throughout? Is there a demand for an applet
that completely ignores long options, but hopefully internally
works by using getopt-susv3 only?
