I am using boost::program_options and found a problem with passing a series
of positive/negative numbers.
i.e
myProgram.out --system 0 -2  2 -3

Similar problem like in:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4107087/accepting-negative-doubles-with-boostprogram-options
I do not want to disable short options. I want to make quotes working.

So when I call

myProgram.out --system '0 -2'
error: in option 'system': invalid option value

myProgram.out --system 0 -2
error: unknown option -2

What quotation do you mean ?

I am using bash, on CYGWIN and in linux

Let me know your answer.

Regards
Andrzej.
