Hi,

I would like to make a `nanocat` (better name?) utility. It's
command-line utility that can connect to any nanomsg socket and
send/receive data. It is very helpful for debugging applications. So
the questions are:

1. Should it be included into the library source?

I would say, it should be in same git and source package, but probably
should be separate for binary distribution package (similar to how
headers and binaries are separate).

I would keep it in separate repo and link it from the website.

2. Can I use getopt.h?

I guess there isn't such a library on Windows, and getopt_long is not
portable according to linux man pages.

As long as the project is in separate repo, no problem. In nanomsg project LGPL would conflict with MIT license.
