Whoops - forgot to cc the list on this.

Hi Mark, thanks for the quick patch.  I tried the snapshot, but it looks
like it still hasn't been updated, so I checked out from SVN and am still
having a similar compilation error:

----------

Is this trying to say that 'struct option' needs to be defined before
defining 'struct option OPTIONS[]'?  My C is too rusty.
