We do, so we have it available on both platforms that have it (most UN*Xes, these days) and platforms that don't (Windows, which has neither getopt() nor getopt_long(), and perhaps some current UN*Xes and older versions of other UN*Xes).

We're not using it, however; did you check that in for future use, and did you have any future use in mind?
