On BSD based operating systems (which includes Mac OS X), the getopt()
function is posix compliant and thus the option processing stops when
the first non-option is found. But the getopt_long() function permutes
the argument vector, just like the GNU implementation.
Using a leading '+' character in the option string disables the
permutation again.
The universal application works well, but is quite difficult to extend
with more functionality. Therefore a new and more modular application is
needed. The new dctool application will support multiple sub-commands,
to carry out specific actions. Extending the application will be as easy
as adding new commands.
