Actually, you're almost 100% correct. The declaration of getopt() on
wv.h is different than the declaration of getopt() in wv\getopt.h. I did
finally manage to figure that out after emailing you and the list about it
this morning (the old "talk to the duck" trick proves its worth again...)

No complaints from me, so long as it doesn't cause further breakage.
