Some specific advantages of popt are no global variables (allowing multiple passes in parsing argv), parsing an arbitrary array of argv-style elements (allowing parsing of command-line-strings from any source), a standard method of option aliasing, ability to exec external option filters, and automatic generation of help and usage messages. This release adds the patchset from Fedora, and resolved the packaging discrepencies between 32-bit and 64-bit. -- Yaakov
