I'll help:
1) Questions should be sent to the "-questions" mailing list
2) Don't send HTML to mailing lists
3) Don't send MIME to mailing lists, even if it's only something
that contains a text/plain: most people will not open your
attachment, since most people are not morons
4) getopt_long is a GNU getopt thing to allow you to use "GNU
long options", as opposed to single character options; thus
you need to make the port depend on the GNU getopt port,
OR
you need to patch it to not use long options if it does not
detect "getopt_long".
If you want to use option 4(b), here is the code you need to add to
your patch:

(Note that this problem has been hanging out for a year and a half now).
My personal preference is 4(b), but I suspect that getopt_long was
added not to "prettify" the option names, but to add more options
to the program than God had available when creating the universe. 8-(.
