Thanks, I bet the diffstat looks awesome!

One thing I noticed is that the def_getopt function doesn't add 'h' to
the optstring, which confused me at first but I see now that you handle
that by handling it in the case where getopt returns '?', clever.

Looks like you also found a few unused options along they way ("n:"
seems to have been cut-and-pasted into a bunch of incorrect places).

Due to the length I've not reviewed in great detail but I think we
should just take this and fix up any fallout as it is discovered.

Ian.
