Hi John,

This is typical of a non-working getopt when trying to build the
documentation file from quilt commands' -h output.

I'll let Andreas deal with these.

Looks promising, I'm willing to commit this. Two comments though:

1* Is it possible to also complain of the use of non-existent
--with-foo options? I've been frustrated a number of times by typos in
these options already.

2* Could you make it so that the use of --without-foo doesn't cause a
WARNING? The user asked for it, there is no reason to warn about
anything.

I'll let Andreas decide.
