Actually it's just adding a check for it in the autofoo stuff (and now
I know how to do it myself!) then take the code from gnu getopt and
add it to a file.c by itself that would get compiled only if
long_getopt doesn't exists in the target machine. Much like we do for
strptime.

On windows I don't know if we already have it... It would take me just
one buildbot run to find out :)

However I like this more... a little bit confusing to use the same -a
for capture stop triggers and the lua script but as we said we shoud
use kanji instead of our very limited latin alphabet for ethereal
command line options :).
