We already have most of it, in getopt.c; GNU getopt has (at least as of 
when our getopt.c was created) a common routine used by getopt() and 
getopt_long(), with those routines just short front ends - our getopt.c 
just has getopt(), not getopt_long().

We could standardize on getopt_long(), and rename getopt.c to 
getopt_long.c and have it define getopt_long() instead, and check for 
that in the configure script.

We don't have it - that's one place where we use our "getopt.c".
