  This might be hitting a little nail with a big hammer, but has anyone
considered writing a flex/yacc parser/scanner, and then just parsing command
options with yy_scan_string() ?

  I know it can provide subcommand support.  :-)

  I don't have any idea where the option parsing code is in monotone, and I
don't know my way around popt, so just sending in a patch isn't something I
can do.  But if someone more clueful were to tell me what is desired, I'd
be glad to help.
