We have a problem.

'getopt' is not included in the base tree (it's a GNU thing) and many
ports depend on it. There have been proposed solutions to fix this
(ports/8838), but none of them feel right to me.

Would the best solution be rolling a getopt library and then making it a
port? Should I proceed with this?

NOTE: I am not talking about /usr/src/usr.bin/getopt, I am talking about:
bash-2.01$ pwd ; ls getopt*
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/diff
getopt.c        getopt.h        getopt1.c

Comments? I'd hate to do this the wrong way.
