clean up getopt(s) section of runConfigure





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-04-04 15:57 -------
Another important aspect of this bug is that runConfigure -h lists the following:

Usage: runConfigure "options"
       where options may be any of the following:
       -p <platform> (accepts 'aix', 'linux', 'solaris', 'hp-10', 'hp-11',
'irix', 'tru64', 'macosx' )
       -c <C compiler name> (e.g. gcc, cc, xlc)
       -x <C++ compiler name> (e.g. g++, CC, xlC)
       -d (specifies that you want to build debug version)
       -r <thread option> can be 'pthread' or 'dce' (only used on HP-11)
       -b <bitsToBuild> (accepts '64', '32')
       -l <extra linker options>
       -z <extra compiler options>
       -C <any one extra configure options>
       -h (to get help on the above commands)

Unfortunately, the getopt string supports the following options:

getopt p:c:x:dm:n:t:r:b:l:z:h $*

This means that it is currently impossible to, say, set the installation prefix
using runConfigure since -C is not actually parsed by getopt(s).

-m, -n, and -t are parsed but are meaningless because they are not processed.
