WANTED: POSIX compatible getopt

[Aleksey Cheusov <cheusov@...>]

Hi everybody.
I have a plan to write standalone applications in LUA.
For this, I need a module handling program's arguments
1) compatible with Utility Argument Syntax
   http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap12.html#tag_12_02
2) allowing long options compatible with getopt_long(3)

To me, getopt from stdlib looks like a mess :-( ,
there are too much of dependencies
and too much of code. Documentation is also unclear.

http://lua-users.org/wiki/AlternativeGetOpt
doesn't look good too.

Any help?
