I'd *strongly* argue against new dependencies unless they buy us
something major.
We've been good at cutting them down, including any required libraries
internally. We shouldn't add new ones.
So we'd have to include GNU getopt sources with the git tree, at which
point any advantage would be gone. Might as well include a private and
simpler version of our own.
