Re: [help-gengetopt] accept option arguments (even in enum)

[Lorenzo Bettini]

hi

I've uploaded a candidate release here

http://rap.dsi.unifi.it/~bettini/gengetopt-2.22.3.tar.gz

which provides this feature (you may want to take a look at test_values* 
files).

look forward to getting some feedback and then I'll release it :-)

cheers
        Lorenzo
