Re: apr_getopt_long implementation with permutation

Greg (H),

Just to clarify my intended course of action, the main goals of the
SVN client option/arg processing loop are:

   1. Allow options and arguments to be interleaved.
   2. But everything after "--" is an arg, of course.

Currently only goal 1 is met. I'm fine with any change to
apr_getopt_long() and friends that allows us to satisfy both 1 and 2.

I had also mildly had a goal #3 in mind:

   3. Have just one caller loop, that takes care of both opt_state and
      loading up the regular args table.

...but this is not crucial. If argv gets permuted such that all the
pure arguments are on the right, that's great too, I'll just load them
into the args table in a separate loop.

I don't know if you're a committer in APR yet, or are accessing it
anonymously. You might want to ask for commit access if you don't
have it already. Can you take care of getting your changes in there
(I don't know how much discussion with the APR dev list may be
necessary first, I imagine not much, as the changes look only
beneficial), and then I'll update subversion/client/main.c as
necessary?
