The arguments are passed in as one string, can I use getopt to process a
string; I imagined I that getopt worked with an array of strings i.e. char
*argv[]?

I enjoyed writing my own function to make parsing easier (I've never used
getopt, although I had heard of it, and there's no man page) but if getopt is
the way to go then I'll use it.

BTW Is there a cinoptions setting for vim to match the indentation in the setup
sources - I can't get the braces and then the block of code to indent...
