Allan McRae bfd6d22be2 parse_options: accept multiple arguments
Allow command-line options to accept multiple arguments without
additional quoting by taking the list of arguments until one
starting with a "-" is reached.

The only current use of this is the --pkg option in makepkg.  This
allows (e.g.)

makepkg --pkg foo bar

and packages "foo" and "bar" will be built.

README

This folder contains code snippets that can be reused by multiple
scripts.  A brief description of each file follows.

output_format.sh:
Provides basic output formatting functions with levels 'msg', 'msg2',
'warning' and 'error'.  The 'msg' amd 'msg2' functions print to stdout
and can be silenced by defining 'QUIET'.  The 'warning' and 'error'
functions print to stderr with the appropriate prefix added to the
message.

parse_options.sh:
A getopt replacement to avoids portability issues, in particular the
lack of long option name support in the default getopt provided by some
platforms.
Usage: parse_option $SHORT_OPTS $LONG_OPTS "$@"
