Would the developers of ELM 2.2 please finally correct the ridiculous
situation, which has been there since ELM 1.5, whereby the ELM source
contains no fewer than 4 versions of getopt():

	filter/utils2.c:getopt(argc, argv, options)
	src/getopt.c:get_options(argc, argv, options)
	utils/fastmail.c:get_options(argc, argv, options)
	utils/getopt.c:getopt(argc, argv, opts)

where there should be at most one, with the name 'getopt()'?  More
generally, there should be a 'lib' directory containing replacements
for _all_ possibly missing libc.a stuff.

Many thanks.
