Hi List,

How feasable would be to:

* add "--xxx yyy" options to the command line options of ethereal.
* add an xxx key to a hash containing a GPtrArray with every instance
of "--xxx yyy" appeared in the command line?

Hmm, getopt_long might not be available on *all* supported machines or a lot of work to include them on all.

Why not use mechanisms we already have, something like the -a key:value command line settings?
