I set up a branch with popt integrated to let you experiment:

svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/branches/popt brlcad-popt

Even if we use popt I imagine we'll eventually hide it behind some
sort of libbu wrapper, so the ideal thing would be to figure that out
and only link popt in through libbu - I'm not sure how or if that
factors in to what your working on Tom, but I thought I'd mention it
in case we need to work out the libbu wrapper API before you
"finalize" your option handling.  I haven't added anything for the
purpose to libbu's C code, but I did hook it up to libbu's build
logic.
