Hi Craig,

I decided to normalize top's 'help' and 'version' handling which then involved adding long-form option support.

I also addressed the quirks associated with a getopt 'optional' argument and the inconsistent approach to the equals sign. To quote from the man page:

     The equals sign can be used with either option form
     and whitespace before and/or after the `=' is permitted.

Attached are the resulting patches for our two branches.

Thanks in advance for the pushes.

Regards,

Jim

p.s. any idea when newlib might be born?
