Re: [help-gengetopt] multiple default values not possible it seems

[Lorenzo Bettini]

Hi Erik

I applied your patch for the documentation: for the moment I'm not 
planning to support list of default values, since it would require major 
changes to the generated code which might be hard to deal with; 
furthermore, if an option needs to support more than one default value 
it can still set no default at all, and implement the default values 
manually.

thanks
cheers
