You probably already considered and rejected the GNU argp parser. I
used it before and I'd like to know reasons I should stay away from
it.

  Because it's GNU and that it's a heavy dependency to begin with.

So it's more of a political decision then a technical one?

Moreover, getopt_long doesn't deal with argument types (like 
integers).

AFAIK, getopt_long in not argp.


Cheers,
Emil.
