I more or less rewrote the parser, copying some code (basically, parts
of parser_parse_next, and the exchange function that is used to
permute arguments, iirc) from GNU getopt.

I'm afraid there's no vendor tags in my cvs, you just have to compare
to revision 1.1 of the files, which should be the same code as in
glibc-2.1. So it's probably easiest to get the latest version, and
diff that to glibc-2.1.
