I worked it out enough to checkout and diff, but I wasn't sure of the 
procedure for checking in - I assumed anonymous access wouldn't allow it 
anyway, sounds like I was right.

I didn't have time to figure out exactly what was happening, but in my 
build at least the StringOption object returned an empty string when you 
used the long option name.  (On the other hand my build was a lot bigger 
than the release build and I'm not sure why, so maybe it's something local 
- I did have to use gcc-2 to get it to build at all.)
