NetBSD's getopt returns -1, while FreeBSD documents it as returning
EOF.  NetBSD's appears to be the same as 4.4 lite 2.  I was curious as
to why the difference between the two existed.  The CVS tree is
unenlightening when I asked it for a revision history.

Does POSIX have anything to say on the matter?  Couldn't find anything
in my POSIX.1 book, but maybe some of the other POSIX standards reveil
more?
