Not off the top of my head, and I'm about to depart for a caving holiday
in France.  I'll take a look when I get back (~16th November).

You can probably just copy 1.0.23's src/getopt.h as a quick fix.

If it clashes with something, we can easily rename it.

Nobody is working on it that I'm aware of, and it would be very useful
to get it done.  I'd probably suggest doing it for the Survex 1.1 branch
as I'd like to avoid any destablising changes to Survex 1.0 now, but if
it's easier for you to work on 1.0 we can move it across later.
