Hi

you're right! :-)

here's the fixed version

http://rap.dsi.unifi.it/~bettini/gengetopt-2.13rc2.tar.gz

> 2.) enum type does not take "typestr" in the .ggo file.

it actually does:

option "multistring-values-no-short"      - "multiple string option with 
values no-short" typestr="BAR" values="foo","bar" no multiple

groupoption "string-values-group"      - "group string option with 
values and default" typestr="FOO" values="foo","bar","foobar","barfoo" 
default="bar" group="group1"
