I just upgraded scripts/make.sh to generate FLAG_longoptname macros for  
the ones that haven't got a short option.

I'm now doing some bug checking (and adding test suite entries) to make  
sure the other aspects of them work (attaching strings to them and  
such). Also, --longopt=abc should work and doesn't seem to...

Working on it, but there was a storm in minnesota that knocked out  
power, so wireless is down and I've got half an hour of laptop battery  
left. Dunno how much I'll get done today...
