Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Fix xenmon/xentrace compile on Solaris
For the Xentrace side, I'd say:

This is what I was going to suggest. The existing syntax should probably work
fine, argp just expresses it more nicely (IMO) at the expense of non-GNU
portability.

Nope, no reason :-)
As far as I'm concerned, feel free to drop argp and replace with getopt.
Maintaining existing syntax might be nice, but isn't required.
As far as Xenmon is concerned, I didn't know it used argp. The original
authors might have some useful comment to make, but my guess would be that
they used argp to match the existing practice in Xentrace.
