Git Option/Subcommand Processing Library?

Is there a library containing just the option and subcommand  
processing code from git?  I saw a post about gitopt but can't find a  
project with that name.  If not is there any problem with me doing  
this?  Thanks.

The "library" is contained in the files parse-options.[ch] in git.git.  I 
am unsure if you need strbuf.c, too, or not.

Not if you abide by the license of git.git, which is GPLv2.

Thanks for the pointers.  I also want to create a generic library for  
command facades like git.  For that I will probably use git.c as a  
guide but to make it generic I would need to add/rearrange code.   
GPLv2 works fine for my purposes.  I hope this isn't an offensive  
question or anything but would releasing just the library under LGPL  
be considered?

You need to ask all authors of all the code you reuse.  I, for one, have 
no objections.

I really appreciate your help.  I'm going to do this regardless of  
license so I'll ask about that when I have a finished project.  Let me  
know if you have any suggestions for features, etc.  Thanks again.
