Allows any arguments to be given without a dash (./program w x)
as well as with a dash (./program -x).
NB: getopt32() will leak a small amount of memory if you use
this option! Do not use it if there is a possibility of recursive
getopt32() calls.
"--" A double dash at the beginning of opt_complementary means the
argv[1] string should always be treated as options, even if it isn't
prefixed with a "-". This is useful for special syntax in applets
such as "ar" and "tar":
tar xvf foo.tar

this option! Do not use it if there is a possibility of recursive
getopt32() calls.
"-N" A dash as the first char in a opt_complementary group followed
by a single digit (0-9) means that at least N non-option
arguments must be present on the command line
