This is a complete redesign of my Java efforts in this regard.
I didn't expect to find so much bugs just by going to this very nice 
language!
Careful: This is NOT the exact GNU or POSIX behaviour since those specs
are inconsistent within themselves - more on this in a later document
or on request.

Contents:

o  cmdline_options.sa:         interfaces / mixins for all classes below.

o  short_cmdline_options.sa:   class to get short option (i.e. -a -bcXY) 
   functionality.   Includes test class.

o  long_cmdline_options.sa:    class to get short+long option 
   (i.e. -a --example) functionality.  Includes test class.

See test classes for usage until there is more documentation.

Distributed under GPL2.  Wouldn't it be nice to have this in the Sather
library? Or even have the compiler use it? ;)
