I don't know of any rule that says I can't vote for my own package, so I'm voting +1 for libargp. I want it specifically to use with nosleep [1]. I could have just baked the argp source files statically into nosleep, but th= ey would have made up the bulk of the code, which seemed silly. It seems bett= er to make libargp available for shared use. Thanks, Andrew. [1] http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2011-09/msg00079.html
