The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:
* libpopt0-1.16-2
* libpopt-common-1.16-2
* libpopt-devel-1.16-2
The popt library exists essentially for parsing command line options. Some
specific advantages of popt are no global variables (allowing multiple
passes in parsing argv), parsing an arbitrary array of argv-style elements
(allowing parsing of command-line-strings from any source), a standard
method of option aliasing, ability to exec external option filters, and
automatic generation of help and usage messages.
This release adds the patchset from Fedora, and resolved the packaging
discrepencies between 32-bit and 64-bit.
