Rewriting the option parsing in gij would be good.  Ideally it would
be Sun-compatible but also comply with the GNU coding standards (i.e.,
--help and --version already work correctly).

In what ways are we not compatible?

One thing we had planned but never implemented was to push some of the
actual parsing code into the invocation API, as required by the JNI
spec.  It would be nice to do that; have gij parse the options and
then pass them on to the invocation API somehow.  (Whether this is
fully feasible I don't know.)
