Nope, I meant replacing getopt.{c,h} with more recent versions that seem
to have compatibility / portability improvements:
* getopt.c: libmpeg2 has v1.37 (Sat Feb 12 07:33:25 2000 UTC), upstream
has v1.57 (Sat Mar 29 20:19:18 2008 UTC);
* getopt.h: libmpeg2 has v1.12 (Sun Nov 8 12:01:34 1998 UTC), upstream
has v1.21 (Fri Mar 19 00:19:32 2004 UTC).
(I've checked the versions for this mail, I hadn't done it before
suggesting upgrading in my first mail.)
