[Boost-users] program_options configuration file - unknown options

I'd like to use program options in my program, but we have one section of 
data which consists of  aliases plus a definition for each alias, neither of 
which is known to us.  The Boost program_options expects that we specify 
each possible option, and throws an exception for any that are not listed.

Is there a good way to have it ignore those options it doesn't know about? 
It would be OK if we had to use a different parser for the aliases, but 
changing the format would make it hard to use, I think.

Thanks to anyone who can give me a hint as to how to best handle this, if 
possible.
