/usr/bin/getopt doesn't honor the -n option

[Mike Dornberger]

Hello,

`man 1 getopt' describes the -n/--name option as follows:

  | The  name  that  will  be used by the getopt(3) routines when it
  | reports errors. Note that errors of getopt(1) are still reported
  | as coming from getopt.

But the -n option isn't honored:

$ /usr/bin/getopt -n myprog -o abc -- -x
getopt: unknown option -- x
 --

$ LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/getopt --version
getopt from util-linux 2.21

I tested under Debian Squeeze (getopt from util-linux 2.17.2) to see
that I did understand the description right:

$ /usr/bin/getopt -n myprog -o abc -- -x
myprog: invalid option -- 'x'
 --

Sincerely,
 Mike Dornberger
