So, I've decided that abi's cmdline processing is really bad.

I'd like to use libpopt universally to read the commandline. At the
moment it only gets used in the GNOME build. So this would introduce an
additional build dependency, I guess.

[Perhaps command line options are not generally required in Windows, or
Mac. It would be unfortunate to build depend on libpopt on Mac.]

I definitely want to unify the GTK and GNOME cmdline processing, using
libpopt. Any objections?

What about other platforms? How do I put something in XP-land but only
compile it when it's needed on that platform?
