getopt_long for Windows

Question

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 52

In issue #20 I added support for getopt short options for Windows. In order to get the
tests running under Windows I need support for the longopt options too.

I've found an implementation of getopt_long which seems suit our needs in PostgreSQL:

http://www.google.com/codesearch#NNmaNPDfY7U/src/port/getopt_long.c

I believe it has a compatible license:

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/FAQ#What_is_the_license_of_PostgreSQL.3F

I've attached a patch which makes use of this implementation. Provided that there are
no problems with the PostgreSQL license, would it be ok to move the Windows implementation
over to this version?

Cheers,
Paul

Answer 1

I can ask our lawyer-folk if the license is compatible, but wouldn't it be easier to
just change the tests to always use the short form of the flags?  I have no problem
with that.  Just throw in a comment saying why.
