I am creating a small option parser based on the getopt option parser 
for fhpd commands, (okay so the only thing being carried over is the 
Options class). I want to avoid having to do too many fancy things to 
add extra options, I like the ability to say parser.addOption and have 
it know what to do. I'd also like a standard help option for each 
command that doesn't exit the fhpd when run.

I'm making a few assumptions about the possible options for the fhpd 
internal commands:
1. All options are at the end.
I.e. command [parameters ...] [options ...]
2. No option has arguments.

Are these safe assumptions? Are there more I can count on?
