You should review http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/setup.html for development info. There are a couple of outstanding patches that I have in my queue, I'd suggest that you hold off a week or so so that I can flush them first, as they impact on the same functionality. There is a library GetOpt++ that is used for grabbing command line options. A semi-trivial use is to overload the non option elements and insert them into a vector. I've been meaning to add something like this into the library by default, but have been seriously time constrained for a while now.
