 PREFACE
 
 Getopt(1) is a program to help shell scripts parse command-line parameters.
-It is for example included in the util-linux distribution (upto version
-2.7.1). But, there are some problems with that getopt(1) implementation, 
-as listed in the 'BUGS' section of its man-page:
-
->BUGS
->     Whatever getopt(3) has.
->
->     Arguments containing white space or imbedded shell metacharacters gener-
->     ally will not survive intact;  this looks easy to fix but isn't.
->
->     The error message for an invalid option is identified as coming from
->     getopt rather than from the shell procedure containing the invocation of
->     getopt; this again is hard to fix.
->
->     The precise best way to use the set command to set the arguments without
->     disrupting the value(s) of shell options varies from one shell version to
->     another.
-
-This implementation of getopt(1) is written to solve some of these problems,
-while still staying (for all practical purposes) completely compatible with
-other getopt(1) implementations.

-INSTALLATION
-
-Installation should be very easy. Just type 'make' to compile the sources.
-It should compile cleanly, without any warnings, but even if it does not
-you probably don't have to worry. You must use GNU Make and gcc, or you
-will have to edit the Makefile. 
-
-Type 'make install' to install the binary and the manual page. It installs 
-by default in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/man/man1, to install in /usr/bin 
-and /usr/man/man1 try 'make install prefix=/usr'.
-
-The example files can be installed in /usr/local/lib/getopt by calling
-'make install_doc'.
-
-If you do not trust the getopt(3) in your libc, or if you do not use a libc
-with the GNU getopt(3) routines, you can use the gnu sources as provided 
-in the gnu directory. Try 'make LIBCGETOPT=0'. Ignore any compile warnings.
-
-You can check whether the new implementation of getopt is found first
-in your path by calling 'bash test.bash'.
