Hi David,
I was initially thinking of something like getopt_long_only, as per: http://linux.die.net/man/3/getopt_long however it looks like the portability of that function isn't the greatest, and from looking at rts/RtsFlags.c:procRtsOpts(...) it might not be the best solution.
That's not necessarily true; we target MingW for Windows compilation, so if you can make sure it works there getopt_long may be viable. On the other hand, maintaining backwards compatibility may be tricky. Some investigation is probably necessary. Edward
