GNU Gengetopt 2.17

[Lorenzo Bettini]

GNU Gengetopt 2.17 has been released.  It is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gengetopt/ and mirrors of that site (see list of
mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).

GNU Gengetopt generates a C function that uses getopt_long function
to parse the command line options, validate them and fill a
struct.

Version 2.17

* fixed bug in generating parser where no multiple option is of
  type string (reported by Dave Swegen)
* fixed bug: the passed header file extension is used when including the
  header file name in the generated C source
* range of occurrences for multiple options
* help and usage strings are generated and accessible (the same that are
  printed by --help)
* reduced size for multiple option parsers
* fixed a problem with the internal variable optind with non glibc
  version of getopt. (thanks to Gyozo Papp)
* --output-dir command line option (suggested by Gyozo Papp)
* --string-parser generate a parser that interprets a passed string
  as command line arguments (suggested by Andre Noll)
