Happy new year!

GNU Gengetopt 2.19 has been released.  It is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gengetopt/ and mirrors of that site (see list of
mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).

GNU Gengetopt generates a C function that uses getopt_long function
to parse the command line options, validate them and fill a
struct.

Version 2.19

   * strings can spawn more than one line and contain escaped "
   * usage string can be specified (instead of being generated
automatically).
   * description string can be specified that will be printed after the
     usage string.
   * automatically created usage strings are wrapped.
   * with --long-help the optional options are correctly printed between []
   * --show-required, to explicitly print in the help output whether an
     option is mandatory
   * configuration files can include other configuration files
     (thanks to David Bird)
   * --no-handle-help handles also --full-help (thanks to Gyozo Papp)
