After reading the attached code I think I understand how it works.  I
also think it should be added to gnunet-ext too, because as it is it's
not obvious (and leads to my proposed patch...)

On the matter of the version string, I don't see why I have to redefine
it when it's a default option.  Maybe add the version string to the
ProjectData structure and have the getopt helper use it instead of
hardcoding `PACKAGE_VERSION " " VCS_REVISION'?  After all, the version
is still an information about the project.
