I attempted to write a great grand solution to command line parsing for boost 
a while ago, but failed to get all the different schemes of command line 
options under one hood. Because I hate having to deal with the problem 
everytime myself, I recently built a tiny command line parser which accepts 
only bare POSIX-style options. So it's as good as POSIX getopt but supports 
standard containers, exceptions, etc. Unfortunately I don't have access to 
any webspace, so I can't put it up anywhere. But I'll attach the little 
example program I used to test it, so you can see if it could help you.
