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.)
