What on Earth were they thinking?!  I've never considered the
possibility that someone would be stupid enough to do that.  Maybe
Wget should revert to simply using its own implementation of
getopt_long unconditionally.

I never thought I'd see those particular instructions applied to Wget.
I've always hated the traditional Unix requirement for all options to
precede all non-options.

If Cygwin thinks it knows better how to handle command-line options,
they should have the decency to name the function something other than
getopt_long.
