Comment (by driscoll@…):

 Okay, there's the patch, relative to the current svn trunk (rev78961). I
 didn't put a ton of effort into figuring out the best way to do it, but it
 seems to work and be relatively elegant. I also had trouble compiling the
 example program example/options_description.cpp so it's untested as-is,
 but it does build for me and basically the same patched seemed to work
 with 1.49.

 What I'm ''not'' sure about is the best way to add the option to the
 library instead of hard-coding it. I haven't taken a good enough look to
 figure out where that should be added. (Maybe the style flags?)

 I'm willing to help out a little on this, e.g. writing documentation, if
 it would help get it into a release. :-)
