gnu getopt supports long options and can reorder option keys
so i can write:
some_program -a -b -c file1 file2 -d -e -f

FreeBSD getopt in libc very simple it can recoginze only one letter
arguments, does not support optional arguments and arguments to
program may appear only at the beginning.

so why dont replace libc/stdlib/getopt.c by gnu version ?
