So would you prefer me moving all of the argument parsing to this new  
place this is fine by me but its a much larger change with lots of  
dependencies.   And if I look at the configuration script it seems  
that there are 6 places 7 with my change that actually march over the  
command line in some way or another.

7 lines matching "for opt" in buffer configure.
     237:    for opt; do
     243:    for opt; do
     249:    for opt; do
     255:    for opt; do
     632:for opt do
     979:for opt do
     991:for opt do
