Re: Start moving toplev options to opts.c

What does the C90, C99, and C++98 say about the max number of marco 
parameters?
If they say less than 64K-1, I would say we are okay because 64K-1 
macro parameters
are a lot of parameters, we should at least reject if there is more 
than 64K-1 parameters.


Thanks,
