+NAME
+	find_option - find command line options
+
+SYNTAX
+	#include <getopt.h>
+
+	mixed find_option(string *argv,
+	                  string shortform,
+	                  string longform,
+	                  string envvar,
+	                  mixed def);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+	This is a generic function to parse command line options of the
+	type '-f', '--foo' or '--foo=bar'. The first argument should be
+	the array of strings that is sent as second argument to your
+	main() function, the second is a string with the short form of
+	your option. The short form must be only one character long.
+	The 'longform' is an alternative and maybe more readable way to
+	give the same option. If you give "foo" as longform your program
+	will accept --foo as argument. The envvar argument specifies what
+	environment variable can be used to specify the same option. The
+	envvar option exists to make it easier to custimizer program usage.
+	The 'def' has two functions: It specifies that the option takes an
+	argument and it tells find_option what to return if the option is
+	not present. If 'def' is given and the option does not have an
+	argument find_option will print an error message and exit the program.
+
+	Also, as an extra bonus: shortform, longform and envvar can all be
+	arrays, in which case either of the options in the array will be
+	accpted.
+
+NOTA BENE
+	find_option modifies argv.
+
+EXAMPLE
+	int main(int argc, string *argv)
+	{
+	  if(find_option(argv,"f","foo"))
+            werror("The FOO option was given.\n");
+
+          werror("The BAR option got the "+
+	         find_option(argv,"b","bar","BAR_OPTION","default")+
+	         " argument.\n");
+	}
